    TeenLife New England

    Welcome to TeenLife New England! This region offers an abundance of possibilities for personal growth and academic advancement. Teens can spend their summers immersed in a pre-college program at a prestigious institution like MIT, exploring STEM topics, or at the Rhode Island School of Design, learning about art and video game design. These programs offer a taste of college life and can help teens narrow down their academic interests.

    But there’s so much more to do throughout the New England states! Teens can gain valuable skills and give back to their communities by volunteering in Boston, Providence, Hartford, and smaller towns. These experiences offer a chance to make a difference and gain valuable life skills like leadership and collaboration.

    Whether students prefer a fully immersive experience in a residential program or a day program closer to home, New England’s landscape of extracurricular and summer camps and programs provides diverse environments for learning, exploration, and discovery.

    Whether you have a specific program in mind or are just beginning your search for something new and enriching, TeenLife’s resource is designed to help. Use the filters to narrow your options and review the opportunities in New England.
