Summer programs at Harvard-Westlake are open for registration.
Participants can experience renowned programs in academics, visual arts, performing arts, film, debate and athletics, divided into six different program areas: North Faring Exploration, Coldwater Prep, Coldwater Arts, Debate LA and Wolverine Sports.
“Students in and outside of the Harvard-Westlake community look forward to the range of summer programs we offer,” said Jim Patterson, director of summer programs. “Each program gives them a choice of offerings that align with their interests and summer schedule.”
New this year is a competitive speech option within the Debate LA program alongside Lincoln-Douglas and Middle School Public Debate, offering a number of preparative and impromptu events throughout the summer.
“Regardless of the topic, summer camp gives students an opportunity to try something new without academic pressure. They can join camps that challenge or enrich them, or help them improve in certain areas, or simply try something new for fun,” Patterson said. “If you’re wondering what our school is like, this gives you a real chance to see for yourself.”
Open to the wider community, Harvard-Westlake summer programs include North Faring Exploration, a three-week academic and arts enrichment program for grades five through seven; Coldwater Prep, a mix of academic preparation and enrichment for the upcoming school year; Coldwater Arts, a variety of art classes for grades seven through 12, including sewing, dance, photography and film; Debate LA, for students interested in debate, both beginner and advanced; and Wolverine Sports, a summer sports program.
