The program is offered in both online and on-campus formats, indicating a hybrid program type. CTD is part of Northwestern University, classifying it as a university-owned program. The website states that all staff members undergo background checks and receive training in youth protection, which is a significant strength.

Who thrives here Ages 13–18

AP® Psychology serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.

Frequently asked about AP® Psychology

What ages does AP® Psychology accept?
AP® Psychology is open to children ages 13–18. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
Who runs AP® Psychology?
AP® Psychology is operated by a university program. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
Does AP® Psychology provide lunch?
AP® Psychology does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
