Summer Programs

Our summer programs include a range of science and math-focused camps and workshops, available for a variety of ages. Many of these programs are traditional, week-long day camp experiences on the UA campus. Some of our premier summer camps take advantage of our close proximity to the UA's world-class telescope facilities on Mt. Lemmon. All of our programs are designed to provide campers with hands-on a research experiences.
