Summer Camps for High School Students in Boston, MA

Boston Leadership Institute:
Boston Leadership Institute offers programs in 3 locations. We have a suburban location in Wellesley, a downtown Boston location and a suburban location in Waltham. We offer one and three week programs at each location. Each location has beautiful classroom and laboratory facilities.

3-Week Day & Residential Summer Enrichment Programs:
3-week STEM summer enrichment programs for US and international high school students include:

Biological Research
Students conduct biological research and explore the extremely hot topic of synthetic biology. Synthetic Biology is a new and exciting field in which engineers design genetic systems that can improve people’s lives.

Biomedical Research
During this three-week program, students engage in group research, attend lectures, and work on their own individual project which they write up and present at a conference at the end of the session.

Applied Physics Research
During this three-week program, students explore concepts such as lift and thrust by building model airplanes.

Chemistry Research
Students explore the science of green chemistry through hands-on experimentation, guided inquiry, and systematic analysis. 

Students learn how observations and measurements on the macroscale (the scale at which we see reactions and collect data) are used to model dynamic interactions on the nanoscale (the scale of atoms and molecules).

Engineering Research
Students use mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer programming to design and program robotic boats.

Neuroscience Research
Neuroscientists specialize in the study of the brain and the nervous system. Scientists study how nerve cells are born, grow, and connect. Brain researchers explore questions such as: How do cell circuits enable us to read and speak?

Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry Research
Students gain basic understanding of genetic, pre-, peri-, and postnatal effects and environmental influences (such as extra or missing chromosomes, genes, maternal illness or substance abuse, anoxia, diet, and social/familial factors) that result in various forms of mental disorders.

Marine Biology
This action-packed three-week program features hands-on sand and water research and a behind-the-scenes tour of one of the top-ranked aquariums in the country.

Veterinary Medicine
This 3 week program covers what it takes to become a veterinarian. Students attend lectures, hands-on labs, and conduct research and present their findings in a research conference.

Forensic Pathology
Students interested in forensics, anatomy, surgery, and law should love this program. Surgeons and medical practitioners face situations where clues from trauma survivors and victims are critical in identifying the perpetrator.

STEM Entrepreneurship
This hands-on program covers what it takes to start a new STEM business. Students generate innovative and forward-thinking product ideas, explore viable opportunities and markets, and learn to write a sales pitch and business plan.
