Summer Portals will return to on-campus programming in 2022!
Hotchkiss Summer Portals is excited to welcome you back to our campus in 2022! Our residential programming runs from July 3 through July 31 in two, two-week academic sessions. Students typically enroll in two courses, one course per session, and stay for the entirety of our 4-week program, though students may elect to participate in a single two-week session. Each day students are immersed in their academic course after which they enjoy a range of afternoon and evening activities such as intramural soccer, hiking, swimming or bonfires at Fairfield Farm. Our picturesque 800-acre campus serves as both classroom and playground for Summer Portals students. Course offerings and dates as well as course descriptions and tuition information are detailed below. Tuition is all inclusive of room, board, course expenses, most on and off campus activities, and technology and health center fees.
