SCOPES SUMMER ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Microscope

The “scopes” program is founded upon the belief that children
will thrive in an environment in which they are challenged to think
and question, can be playful and imaginative.

"I have never been so impressed with a program and with the directors....
I think Furman has done a wonderful thing having the camps and using students to help out.
