The Schedule – Flexible, By Design

The Summer Program is offered from June 24 through August 2, 2013. (Please note that the first one-week session at Mott-Leeney Baseball Camp begins June 17.) Many Summer Session (academic) courses run the full six-week period, while enrichment courses and NA Summer Sports offer shorter programs.
