Overview

During the HMI Summer Term, rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders engage in a unique 5-week summer experience in the Rocky Mountains. They discover their best selves over two backpacking trips, exploring the reaches of their potential and how to lead others. Through a series of writing workshops, students find their voices, improve their prose, and gain experience with college-level writing, finally producing a polished essay that can be used for college applications.

On two backpacking expeditions, students learn how to travel and live well in the wilderness and expand their leadership understanding and opportunities.

On campus, students will receive the coaching and practice to turn their challenging wilderness experiences into a quality personal essay that can be used for college applications and beyond.

And all this will be done with a group of peers which quickly becomes a unique community of supportive friends who share both responsibility and deep belly laughs.
