Extending Their Commitment To Becoming College-Bound, Eight Mile High Squash Students Secure Scholarships For Summer Camps.

Mile High Squash Creates Pathways To College For Historically Underserved Students By Creating A Web Of Relationships That Empower, Inspire, And Support Its Students.

Becoming college-bound is not solely an individual effort. Mile High Squash works to create a web of relationships that empowers, inspires, and supports its students. According to Eric Eiteljorg, the Executive Director, “These relationships allow Mile High Squash students to cast themselves as successful students, students who are ‘good at school’, and who plan to attend college. This year, for the first time in its five-year history, a group of Mile High Squash students took it upon themselves to develop new relationships, relationships that will support becoming college-bound.

Eight Mile High Squash students secured scholarships to attend summer camps outside of what Mile High Squash offers to its student. These students are seeking additional opportunities to challenge themselves in new ways. Besides the obvious, being away from home for an extended period of time, these students will be meeting new people from around the country; taking classes that would be otherwise unavailable; and, engaging in activities that will require them to trust people they have just met. It is likely that each student will return with amazing stories to share with their peers and a new perspective on life. Three high school students will be attending a five-week academic camp Phillips Exeter Academy in NH. Four middle school students will be attending Camp Chief Ouray in CO. Lastly, one middle school student will be attending a four-week outdoor education camp, Camp Sanborn. These 8 scholarships are valued at more than $20,000.00.
