At Upward Bound, the programs we offer help not only students form essential bonds with each other but at the same time help expand their minds to things they might not have a chance to experience in their everyday lives.

It's always something different. One year we may take a day trip to a Reds' game. The next year we may go out-of-state. Here are some of the programs we have offered in the past:

• Tae Kwon Do
• Art of Bookmaking
• Scrapbooking
• Bridge Dinner at Brio
• Kings Island
• Cincinnati Reds Game
• Indianapolis Trip
• Float & Fly
• Kentucky Cultural Day

There are many other programs that we offer during the summer. The good thing is that, most likely, there are some that are offered one year but not the next. That way students can have many different programs offered to them each year that they are in Upward Bound.
