Shaun McElroy, the "International Counselor" has a great architecture-specific list up here:  http://www.internationalcounselor.org/?p=296

 

Dr. Lee Waldrep has also created a list of summer programs that is specific to architecture, which is here.

 

Thanks to Elizabeth Cano of Chatham HS for her additions to this data in December of '08.
