Summer Term
Summer is a time to explore and rejuvenate. The HMI Summer Term is a truly different summer experience--one in which you will push yourself intellectually, make great friends, and experience the beauty of the Colorado Rockies.
The Summer Term is an opportunity for students who have completed their 10th or 11th grade years to combine wilderness, community, and academic pursuits in a six-week summer program, giving students a taste of the semester school experience in a more condensed format. Mirroring many elements of our fall and spring semesters, the Summer Term has three components: Through our academic program, we explore sense of place, leadership, and environmental ethics. On two expeditions in the backcountry of the Great American West, we teach wilderness travel skills, use the mountains as an extended academic classroom, and develop our personal connections to each other and to nature. Finally, we create a small, residential community that requires the participation and commitment of each member, resulting in friendships and shared memories that will last a lifetime.
Ready to apply? Dates for the Summer Term are June 25 - August 5, 2012. Applications are due (postmarked) by February 15. After February 15, we will accept applications on a rolling basis to fill any remaining spots. Please contact Christina Reiff, Director of Summer Term, for more information at creiff@hminet.org or 719-486-8200 ext 107.
