Summer Programs

June 30 - July 26, 2013

For four weeks each summer, students attending Randolph-Macon Academy Summer Programs develop their interests and talents, challenge themselves to improve on weaknesses, and literally take to the skies. Close friendships are formed and last forever, memories are made, and lives are changed.

It is a summer like no other.

R-MA offers four distinct summer programs: 

Middle School Academic Camp

Students entering grades 6-8 in the fall expand their academic knowledge while having fun! Mornings are spent in classes, while afternoons, evenings, and weekends are reserved for building friendships and having more fun! Academic field trips are taken almost every week.

Upper School Summer Courses

These summer school courses are for students entering grades 9-12, or seniors who need to take a class to graduate. Students may take core or elective courses for credit, or repeat a core course.

R-MA enrichment courses this summer include: Design Concepts for Engineering, Programming Fundamentals/JAVA, Personal Finance, Public Speaking, and the New Creative Writing Workshop.

English as a Second Language

This summer immersion course is intended for international students who have previous exposure to English. It is strongly recommended for all English as a Second Language (ESL) students who plan to attend R-MA for the regular school year.

Flight Camp

Designed specifically for students who would dream of flying and would like to solo in a Cessna 172, this flight training program is limited to 8 students for 2013.
