Still unsure about your summer plans? Why not let your zodiac sign guide you to a program that truly matches your personality and passions? Drawing recommendations straight from Nobles’ summer program database, The Nobleman proudly presents the first comprehensive, zodiac-based summer advisory system—guaranteed to offer far more insightful and personalized advice than whatever your college counselor is telling you.
Aries (March 21–April 19): Your intense, competitive nature makes the Nobles Strength and Conditioning Summer Program the obvious choice. Outwork everyone else in the off-season and come back to school ready to dominate your peers on the field, courts, rink, and in the classroom! You’ll be literally unstoppable after developing explosive power, intermuscular coordination, and proper change of direction mechanics.
Taurus (April 20–May 20): As a Taurus, you enjoy the finer things in life and often find yourself seeking out pleasures of the senses: gazing at a breathtaking view, listening to the gentle crackle of a campfire, savoring the taste of a thoughtfully-prepared meal… This makes Community Servings the perfect summer destination for you! They probably won’t notice if one or two baked goods go missing now and then.
Gemini (May 21–June 20): You are adaptable, quick-witted, and tend to thrive in dynamic environments. To you, lawless chaos isn’t stressful—it’s exciting. This makes the Pre-K Summer Program at Dedham Country Day School a natural fit for you! You’ll feel right at home amidst the many screaming children, flying objects, and incessant questioning.
Cancer (June 21–July 22): Your natural empathy and nurturing spirit make you the perfect volunteer for the National Geographic Student Expeditions Service Trip in Thailand. You’ll spend a wonderful and gratifying 25 days supporting local communities and schools, and learning about conservation. Also, all the Arieses are going to be at the Nobles Strength and Conditioning Summer Program, and you’ll probably want to be as far away from that as possible.
Leo (July 23–August 22): Leo is the sign of the lion. And what do lions eat? Deer, of course! That’s why you should go to Deer Hill Expeditions—a one-of-a-kind guided adventure in Costa Rica, where you’ll backpack, rock climb, and river raft through the wilderness.
Virgo (August 23–September 22): You are practical and detail-oriented; you like to feel in control of your future, so you often overthink things and like to plan ahead. With this in mind, what better way to spend your summer than at the Northfield Mount Hermon College Prep Program! At Northfield, you’ll spend 6 of your 12 weeks of summer attending classes, doing “chores that benefit the community,” and going to “supervised study periods” that “help students develop good study habits!” Oh, what fun! More importantly, you’ll be so incredibly prepped for college.
Libra (September 23–October 22): You tend to be diplomatic, charming, and deeply conflict-avoidant, which makes Students on Ice the ideal summer program for you! By traveling to the polar regions on this thrilling expedition, you can avoid all the conflicts!
Scorpio (October 23–November 21): Scorpios bring passion and vigor into everything they do. Take, for example, the Scorpio legend and award-winning actor Stanley Tucci. Another good example is Drake, the hit singer-songwriter. Following in the footsteps of Stanley Tucci, what better way to spend your summer than at the Powerhouse Theater Training Program at Vassar College? At this transformative theatre program, you will immerse yourself in acting, directing, and playwriting alongside passionate peers and professionals.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21): As a Sagittarius, you crave freedom and the thrill of new experiences. That’s why Sail Caribbean is your ideal summer escape. Spend your days scuba diving, learning about marine biology, and sailing the West Indies in a 50-foot yacht!
Capricorn (December 22–January 19): You were probably born with a five-year plan and a backup résumé. That’s why you’ll be attending the Draper High School Engineering Internship this summer. While everyone else is “finding themselves,” you’ll be finding professional contacts, polishing your LinkedIn, and building a strong h-index on Google Scholar.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18): Your out-of-the-box thinking and love for innovation make the Robot Open Autonomous Racing (ROAR) Academy at UC Berkeley your dream summer destination. Dive into Python programming and autonomous driving algorithms alongside experts and fellow STEM enthusiasts. By the end of this 10-day journey, you will find yourself falling in love with cars, deep reinforcement learning, and Markov decision processes!
Pisces (February 19–March 20): All of your friends love talking to you because of your unmatched capacity for empathy. However, sometimes it’s a bit overwhelming to bear the weight of everyone else’s trauma. Rather than listening and empathizing, actually do something about your friends’ mental health by going to Camp Psych at Gettysburg College! After this week-long crash course, you’ll be able to identify your friends’ attachment styles, trace their behavior back to unresolved childhood schemas, and help them work through repressed emotions.
