Welcome! I am Ashlyn, an eighth grader in Newton, MA.
In my last summer before high school, I've decided I need to do something different for summer camp this year. I found this amazing program called Explo 360 (http://www.explo.org/360/wellesley). Explo is a "learning camp" -- with more than 120 course and workshop offerings! From their website: "Students at Explo can pursue a developing interest or try something completely new. A summer at Explo at Wellesley exposes young adults to worlds they might not otherwise experience. And with a student body from more than 40 states and 50 countries, students have the chance to become friends with people from around the globe, and are exposed to new ideas and new perspectives on a daily basis. The most frequent comment we receive on our parent and student surveys is that Explo significantly increases a student's self-confidence—socially and academically. Explo at Wellesley’s balance of structured and unstructured time ensures that students have the freedom to grow without sacrificing any of the care and attention they need."
Unfortunately, my mom & I missed the financial aid application deadline by the time we found this amazing opportunity. So I've decided to try to help her out with this idea:
Every person who donates towards my summer camp costs will receive one personalized postcard from me with something I learned on that particular day at camp.
For each donation, be sure to include your name and address so I know who to send your postcard to!
I will be a busy writer this summer, sharing my experiences with all of you!
Thank you for your support!
