Summer Internships and Summer Programs Archive

I was asked recently about summer programs and I ran across a few I had searched when my children were in high school. I am sure many of them are still around. Just sharing. I had these in my files before the BLOG! Donna (if you do a search on the blog on "summer" a lot come up!)
