The open house will begin at 9 a.m. with registration and includes a formal presentation, campus tour, informal question and answer session, and buffet luncheon. Last year, students from 39 states and 14 countries participated in the program. Fourth through sixth grade participants take two academic and two non-academic courses. Seventh through eleventh grade students can choose to take three academic courses and one non-academic course. Courses vary by grade level and range from introductions to algebra, archeology, creative writing, media and philosophy to college credit classes in anatomy and physiology or political science.
Cultural courses examine various subjects, such as theatre, art, music, magic and sign language.
Recreational options include tennis, swimming, soccer, volleyball, team sports, archery, fencing, aerobics, chess and strategy. All students will be housed in Denison residence halls and will eat in the college dining halls. Participants also will have access to Denison's Doane Library and Mitchell Recreation Center. Any textbook, supply or personal costs are the responsibility of the participant.
