Education Unlimited - Academic and Artistic Summer Camps since 1993

Summer Focus at UC Berkeley is a comprehensive 6-week summer pre-college program offered in a rare public-private partnership between Education Unlimited® and UC Berkeley Summer Sessions. The program is designed to provide a small-group learning environment for talented and motivated high school students who want to experience college life.

This exciting program allows entering junior and senior high school students the opportunity to earn college credit, receive a supreme introduction to college, and have a great time on a variety of recreational excursions meeting new people—all the while living in a structured, supervised environment.

Summer Focus students take one UC Berkeley course for 3-4 units of transferable college credit, and choose two Summer Focus enrichment courses taught by Education Unlimited's® expert staff. Our Summer Focus enrichment courses are afternoon classes designed to offer additional educational opportunities such as Kaplan® SAT Test Prep or College-Level Writing as well as fun learning adventures such as Surfing, Literary Tour of the Bay Area, or Creative Writing and Illustration. Enrichment courses are designed to compliment the student's overall Summer Focus at UC Berkeley experience.

Summer Focus Fun! Summer Focus is designed so participants not only learn a lot, but also enjoy a true college experience! In addition to excellent academics, Summer Focus offers a great social environment and exciting recreational activities. Students have the opportunity to explore the vibrant and culturally rich city of Berkeley, including Telegraph Avenue and other areas surrounding the campus. We also dine out in Berkeley occasionally, enjoy films in the dorms and around town, and visit local cultural attractions. Summer Focus students swim at Strawberry Canyon, play basketball at the Golden Bear Recreation Center, study over espresso in local coffee houses, and generally have a chance to experience fully the life of a Cal undergraduate.
