RISING SENIORS · AUGUST 2–5, 2027

The Chapman Summer Retreat

Four days to work, connect, find your rhythm and begin senior year ready. Long, protected work sessions with counselors close at hand, then time to kayak, hike and gather around the fire.

This isn't an essay boot camp. Every student arrives somewhere different, and leaves further along, more organized and with real momentum.

Action creates evidence. Evidence builds belief. And belief becomes confidence.
