You can expect to be in class with faculty, working on projects with teammates, observing, and engaged in other program activities (such as meals, workshops, and field trips) for about 10 - 14 hours per day for six days a week (Monday through Saturday). Sundays are “unscheduled” days, when participants manage their own time until dinner, and there are also bits of unscheduled time in the afternoons and evenings. However, we expect that students will be engaged in program activities during most of their waking hours, getting as much as possible out of both the academic and social opportunities at YSPA. It is not recommended that you plan to work on other time-consuming projects during YSPA.
