<p>I’ve met two kids on different occasions who did summer arch camp while hs juniors. One at CMU and one elsewhere, perhaps Cornell? Both loved it, said it was crazy intense (remember these where hs kids), and felt that it prepared them for life as an architecture student. Both said it helped them confirm their commitment to architecture, and there were kids who attended that they met who quickly determined architecture as not for them. That I feel could be pretty valuable to a paying parent as the BArch programs are tightly focused and not for everyone.</p>
