Blueprint Summer Programs

My daughter attended the blueprint program at UCLA and had an absolutely awful experience. The camp was extremely unorganized. It was extremely expensive and I am not sure where my money went. I do not recommend. Spend your money somewhere else! My daughter said most of her time was spent sitting on her phone and there were never activities plan. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS.

Has to be one of the worst summer programs out there. This "organization" aims t coin itself as an education-college Prep summer program. I completed the UCLA session A and basically you hire staff who are not qualified, you manipulate parents out of their money by using prestigious and popular Universities in your marketing. The BluePrint Summer Program is a stand alone program. There is no oversight for the teens who are routinely allowed to "fraternize" after hours in each others dorms. The "lead teacher” and “College Prep” Teacher could not answer any questions from their students. The students are 13 to 17 years of age. A few students were yelled at for challenging the poor College Prep PPT slides. Please DRUG TEST your new hires, they are underachieving temps who have no teaching experience or youth development skills. From Day 1 until Day 2 it was completely chaos and disorganized. BluePrint says Safety is #1 but on day 1 students arrived from NYC, China, Saudi Arabia and were forced to wait hours due to poor planning with a shuttle bus. We transported the students to their dorms via Uber and Lyft. I reached out to the company’s CEO and HR Manger and of course they deactivated my account hours later because they can care less about what goes on in the field. Room assignments, technical devices, meal cards and dorms were not functioning on day 1. It's ridiculous! The hosting universities could not care less because they are guaranteed a check from BP Summer programs. The Org. essentially borrows the prestige and name of the schools they are at and offer ridiculously below-standard products and College Prep services. Spend your $3000 to $5000 elsewhere, trust me, there are emergency rooms that run smoother than the this program. Several students were crying for food, parents removing their students due to lack of interest, students playing video games during class and NO SNACKS were offered between lunch and dinner. The only reason I stayed the entire time was because I genuinely love those students. You will need to take Tylenol every single day to deal with your team.

We are dealing with minors and we did not complete a drug test. Sums it up!

My daughter attended the Blueprint summer program at Lehigh University. She had an amazing time and met so many great people. She attended the writing camp which was perfect for her since is wants to be an English major in college. It also looked great on her college applications! I would highly recommend this a summer program for high school students.

I had an absolutely amazing time while at a BluePrint camp. I went to Leigh University and took the Psychology course. Since it was my first time participating in something like this so I only stayed for one week, however, this was a big mistake. I made so many friends and had such a great time that I didn't want to go home. We got to do ice cream socials, tie-dye our tee-shirts, and even go to Hershey theme park. The Psychology course I participated in showed me what a college class would be like and actually showed me how excited I was to participate in something like that. I loved the campus but the freshmen dorm themselves were not that great, but that wasn't BluePrint's fault as the campus provides them. Overall, I had an amazing experience and I would love to have another trip to a new college one day.
