Summer Enrichment for HS Students: Does it matter?

I think enrichment camps are a new normal, right along with:

  • all A's
  • passport with a few exotic stamps
  • 5 on AP calc (even non-STEMs)
  • "research"
  • founder of a club
  • raising $10,000+ for a charity
  • 100s of volunteer hours doing something other than standard tutoring youth or at a hospital
