Experience Summer at Brewster
Summer at Brewster is a kaleidoscopic celebration of learning, performance, adventure, and fun. Stroll through what most would argue is the campus with the most beautiful site of any boarding school in the United States and you are sure to be struck with the level and variety of activity. Music pours from open windows, kids are collecting samples for science classes down at the lakefront, another group sits in a circle under the shade of a century-wide tree laptops in hand, the school's busses are heading out loaded with adventurers and pulling canoe and kayak trailers, and on the fields a hundred athletes are going through soccer, lacrosse, or field hockey drills. Inside and outside, all day and into the night, the campus is abuzz with scenes like these and many more. Here is a sampling of the opportunities available:

At the end of each summer, the Thai Scholars enter their postgraduate years at various outstanding prep schools including Brewster.
