"I loved being put in a mock trial to experience what it would actually be like if I were to become a lawyer. It was refreshing to not have your typical school, textbook learning but hands-on instead."
—Jessyca S., NYLF Law & CSI Alumna

There’s no reason the kids should be the only ones having fun this summer. Our Programs for Grown-Ups allow parents to make a break of their own. While your child is at one of our programs, you can choose a program at the same location or one of our other travel destinations. Programs for Grown-Ups include hotel and dinner upgrades, additional activities, and more!
