This program operates for 2 weeks in June offering students the opportunity to select from a variety of courses. Each course takes 6 hours and is presented on 2 days for 3 hours each day. Students must attend both days for specific courses.
Courses operate from 9:00am-12:00pm each morning and 12:30pm-3:30pm each afternoon.
The program also includes a field trip day to the University of Central Florida campus.
