The United States Military Academy at West Point is excited to offer two unique opportunities for high school and middle school students to experience the Academy this summer.
Opportunity 1: Summer Leader Experience (SLE) View Flyer
This one-week program is designed for current high school juniors, offering them a unique opportunity to experience life as a Cadet at West Point. The action-packed week will be both challenging and rewarding, with participants taking part in:
- Four hands-on academic workshops selected from 17 different options, taught by West Point faculty.
- Physical and mental challenges, including indoor and outdoor obstacle courses, intramurals, and the Candidate Fitness Assessment.
- Leadership and character development through team challenges, the Leader Reaction Course, and ethics discussions led by West Point Cadets.
Students can choose between two SLE sessions:
- May 31 – June 6
- June 7 – June 13
Applications for SLE open on February 15, and selections will be made on a rolling basis starting March 15. Completing this application also fulfills the first portion of the application to West Point.
West Point provides scholarships to cover the costs of SLE fees and travel expenses for students who have proven financial need.
