“When we sent our bright “academically focused” son off to experience 3 weeks of learning and living on UMCP campus our hope was that he would learn more about himself as a person. He came back changed for the better! He allowed himself to take part in all the social activities organized by the YSP staff and he learned that he can have “fun” while being a hardworking student!”
