Are there any homeschool friendly and cheap summer programs?

<p>I am 17, in 11th grade, and have been homeschooled all of my life. Many of these summer programs sound amazing, however most I have found require thousands of dollars and I am unsure of how homeschool friendly they may be. </p>

<p>My family does not have a large income, and I am unemployed. The most that would even be within my financial reach would be around $2,000, and even that would put a burden on my family I wish to avoid. </p>

<p>I took the ACT last summer and only scored a 30 which puts most of the free programs outside of my reach. I had intended to take it again last fall, but I have had too many Boy Scout and church activities planned and it is unlikely that I will be able to take it again with enough time remaining. </p>

<p>My intended field is electrical engineering though I have interest in mathematics, physics, programming, and philosophy. Anything involving such would be ideal.</p>

<p>If anyone has read through that enormous wall of text and has useful knowledge please share it with me.</p>

<p>hey, try Global Leadership Adventures (GLA)… i don’t know if it caters to your interests, but it is a travel/volunteer abroad program, and they have some trips that are around $2000. If you need financial aid, GLA offers up to 30% of the tuition. 30% may not seem like a lot, but it really is considering the cost. The staff is great with working one-on-one to make the trip possible for students, and you can even set up a payment plan.
i went to the Galapagos Islands with them (around $3195) and this summer I’m going to Bali with them as well.

<p>Thanks, but I’m looking for something a bit more academically oriented than service oriented. I suppose I didn’t clarify enough in my opening post. I love helping people, but I already do quite a bit of it through my Boy Scout troop and my church.</p>

<p>You may find that your local public school district or local community college offer classes in the summer open to everyone that are very low-cost.</p>

<p>I would really also like to find some cost-friendly summer programs! Let me know what you find!</p>

<p>you remind me of myself, not to mention I am a boy scout and today just started my first every day of homeschooling. I would recommend one of your math circles, depending where you live and math summer camps.</p>

<p>if you tell me what city you live in I can find a math circle, if not check these out,</p>

<p>If you are seriously interested in number theory, Ross is something to consider. The cost is $2200 for six weeks of room and board and there is financial aid available as well. I think it is relatively home school friendly as well.</p>
