For the Student:  These resources will give you ideas and detailed information to help you discover some exciting summer experiences.

For the Parent/Guardian:  Summer Destinations is an excellent opportunity for your children to try new activities, learn new skills, and explore the world around them.  This section provides information on opportunities provided by companies, organizations and government for young people – be it paid work, volunteer or learning opportunities.
