The Summer Program
• Each year we get to spend a lovely time at
Bridgewater State University
• Each year we hear afterwards about things you
would have liked to do, and we want to get your
opinions before
• With that being said there are some parameters for
how you can design your own personal Upward
Bound Summer Program!

3. SALT CREATED BY AMERICAN STUDENT ASSISTANCE3
Guidelines
• You are going to be given the opportunity to create
your own summer program but it is important to
remember there are some things that we do not have
any control over.
• You have to go to classes. This is not an optional part of the
program
• Meal times are pretty set in stone. 7:15 Breakfast, 12:00
Lunch, 5:00 Dinner. You may be able to move them by 15
minutes, but don’t be doing much more than that
• You have to go do homework
• Napping is not an activity

4. SALT CREATED BY AMERICAN STUDENT ASSISTANCE4
Guidelines
• Just because you give us a suggestion does not
guarantee that we can or will use it
• If you give us a suggestion that we believe is viable, than we
will do our best to fit it into the program this summer
• We recognize that this is your program and we want you to
have a voice, that being said if we get something that
suggests napping and 12 hours of free time we will not give
it any thought.
• Take this seriously, this is your chance to give some
direction to the summer program, and we would love to hear
your genuine opinion.

• You can use ideas we have already used, but justify why
you would like to do it again.

I don’t necessarily know what the name of everything is,
and want to be able to do ample research.

summer program.

Parent Day Celebration
• We want to give you an opportunity to explain how you would
like to celebrate with your parents
• The end of the year celebration should be a culmination of the
successes we have had this summer
• With that being said we often do a talent show to exemplify our
successes as a program
• If you enjoy that idea you can utilize it but you must explain why
you think it is the most effective way to celebrate the end of
summer
• If you would like to see something else done be sure to explain
your idea, and why it is effective
• We will not accept something like we want to watch a
movie because it would be fun… It needs to show off
accomplishments of the students, and of the program.
