On Workshop Day – the second Wednesday of each session – students have the opportunity to take three different workshops and seminars offered by both Explo faculty members and outside speakers, presenters, and teachers. Some of these workshops are one-day samplers of Explo's most popular classes, and some are one-time clinics, lectures, discussions, and interactive presentations on subjects ranging from self-defense, to acting, to media and politics, to human rights and the law. Specific workshop choices will be published during the first week of the Program, and students will choose from approximately 70 offerings.

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.
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? Here, you get to choose.
Conversation From Our Summer Site
hira from new york
Hira is entering the twelfth grade and enjoys all the options open to her at Explo -- whether it's classes, trips, or main events.
What advice would you give someone coming to Explo for the first time?
I would just tell them that this basically becomes like your home -- actually becomes better than home, because you actually have something to look forward to every day! And there are so many opportunities here! It’s very non-stop. So, like, always go to any and every event that you can, and just have fun. But the main thing is don’t be nervous, because if you’re nervous and afraid then you’re not going to experience all the wonderful things Explo has to offer.
What will you miss most about Explo?
I will miss having to look forward to getting up in the morning to go to classes. Everything’s so organized here. I mean, I’m pretty organized, but at home I wake up at, like, 10 and then I start doing everything I have to do. But over here, I try to wake up as early as I can -- because you have to share a lot of things here [laughs].

Schedule Notes
Each weekday afternoon, "open time" gives you the opportunity to go into the Chapel Street and Broadway shopping areas, catch up on laundry, work on course projects, or just relax with friends.
On weekdays after lunch, students and their advisors meet for Living Group Time. Whether it's a game of capture the flag or a discussion on issues that affect teens, Living Group Time is a structured time for students and faculty to build a sense of community.
