Dawson Summer Initiative
Theme for Summer 2025: Action! Designing Opportunities
Dates: June 3- July 3
Application due date: February 3, 2025
Dawson Summer Initiative (DSI) offers a free summer academic program that follows a thematic approach and is geared for high-achieving, independent students who are currently in Grade 6 and Grade 7.
Over the past several summers, scholars have enjoyed working with students from Altona and over 30 different schools predominantly in the St. Vrain, Boulder Valley, and Adams 12 School Districts. The program is geared toward high academic achievers who are effective collaborators. They are seeking students who would benefit from an opportunity to work with peers from other schools, sharing like-minded goals.
