Build Your Day Your Way What's the difference between Explo and your standard school day routine? Choice. What's the difference between Explo and a summer sitting at home? Again, it's choice.

At Explo, You Get to Choose Every day (and at every part of the day), you're offered options at Explo that you won't get at school and that you just can't find at home. What courses will you attend? What activities will you join? What trips will you sign up for? What challenges will you take on?

 

Conversation From Our Summer Site


Dan from Connecticut dan from connecticut

Dan, a ninth grader from Connecticut back for his third summer at Explo, is a huge music fan, can dance 'the robot' perfectly . . . and (after two weeks at Explo) knows a thing or two about hip-hop dance as well!


So what mini-courses are you taking?
[Lets out large sigh and laughs.] My dad signed me up for “Hip-Hop You Don’t Stop” . . . so at first, you know, I was kind of in the back of the crowd with my head down like, “Everyone should know I do not want to be here.” Before we even started, I was like, “If everyone could listen up: my dad signed me up for this mini-course.” And then she [the teacher] was like, “Oh, so you’re not gonna do it?” and I was like, “No, I’m gonna do it.” So I gave it a try, and I ended up telling all my guy friends who play sports and everything about it. And I say, “Yeah, it’s really cool" -- because, like, I’m doing dance moves. Of course it’s kind of awkward -- I’m moving my hips and my butt -- but, again, it’s that safe thing. It’s cool to be able to have creativity, to dance what you want . . . dance what you feel.
