EXPLO 360°

A 2-week summer program for students currently in grades 6-8 on the campus of Wellesley College.

EXPLO is a unique, immersive summer program for 12-14 year-olds (grades 6-8) offering 2-week residential and day programs. At EXPLO, you get to experience the world to find your spark. Custom-build your summer fun, from creative workshops to evening events, weekend trips, and more. Join a glow stick party. Go to Six Flags. Experience indoor skydiving. Try your hand at comedy. See what it’s like to be an aeronautical engineer. Play soccer with friends from around the country—and world. See what it’s like to be a doctor, fashion designer, engineer, pastry chef, and more. When you come to EXPLO, you can be yourself. You find your people without even trying.

It’s hard to find your spark and grow it into a passion without trying new things. But how much choice do you really get in your regular life? At EXPLO, you get to custom-build your summer fun, from evening events and weekend trips to immersive workshops on everything from food to robotics. What have you always wanted to try but never had a chance to? What questions have you held back from asking? What lights you up just thinking about it? At EXPLO, you can do and be more than one thing.

Unlike most summer camps and summer enrichment programs, EXPLO gives you more choice and opportunity to select workshops and electives across a wide range of topics—from Aeronautical Engineering or International Law + Diplomacy to Fashion Illustration or Comedy. 

Connect with guides, champions + innovators to inspire you. Learning and creativity are collaborative. Join a community that’s energized by your ideas and supports you in doing big things. EXPLO is built by scholars, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers, activists, lawyers, doctors, actors, and more from every industry and institutions from around the country—and world. Our instructors are professional teachers and practitioners who build engaging, hands on, and exciting experiences.
