The Acorn Program is three weeks long, with three sessions each summer.  Cost includes room, board, three weeks of intense learning and coaching, as well as opportunities to qualify for the Oakcliff Offshore Team and the All-American Offshore Team.  Admissions are need-blind.  

The Sapling Program is fourteen weeks long, beginning in the spring and ending late summer.  The Sapling Program is fully subsidized for students who are admitted.  We cannot guarantee housing to Saplings (though we strive to provide it for free or cheap) and board is not included.

Saplings can also apply to be a Residential Assistant in the Acorn Program.  RA’s are paid Saplings who receive room, board and a salary for supervising the Acorns at night and certain other times.
