Club U runs for a total of 11 weeks, and parents can register students for a week at a time (or for all 11!). Registrations will be taken up until the Friday before the new week starts (depending upon availability). Many weeks will fill, so register early to guarantee a spot. Registering early also makes check-in and paperwork go more smoothly on Monday.
University staff eligible for the 15% tuition discount will need to register over the phone. Please mention the discount when calling.

Parents should bring children to President's Circle between 7:45-8:00 a.m. on Mondays. Check-in lines are broken up according to last name for new students. Getting your paperwork in early makes check-in faster and more efficient. If your child has been to previous weeks of Club U please go to the "return student" line (this applies to the first day of every week). On Tuesdays (and the rest of the week) parents drop off students directly with counselors. Please also check-out your child with their counselor.

Please make sure to wear closed-toes shoes because we are always walking, playing sports, and doing activities that require functional shoes. Flip-flops are allowed in the pool, but students still need to bring closed-toed shoes in with them to camp. Please also bring lots of water (one or two large bottles), a healthy lunch, and snacks. We are often out in the sun and very active throughout the day so it is very important to supply a nutritious lunch and lots of water. Students also need to bring a backpack to put all their belongings in. Please label belongings.

Please talk to the child's counselor and we will make arrangements. Make sure to tell counselors about any food allergies.

Electives are short, content specific classes that students get choose depending on their interest and age. Electives will be posted on the web and available in our office approximately two to six days prior to the start of the each new week.

Most electives run Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Some elective times vary depending on the week. These are listed in the course descriptions for the appropriate weeks.

Yes! As long as the student's paperwork is in, you can sign up on the Thursday or Friday before the next camp starts on Monday. Please come to the office (Annex #1169) or call us at 801-581-6984. Student forms are available on our web site.

Students are grouped by age range (the 6 year olds with 6 year olds, 8 year olds with 8 year olds etc...). There will be some overlap with ages depending on enrollment. Many activities are split between the 6-9 year olds and the 10-12 year olds. Often on Mondays or Fridays we will have large group activities where the various counselor groups interact.

You can see staff biographies and qualifications on the web. These bios are linked to each Club U course. Please note that different counselors are listed for each section. Usually, counselors will work with approximately the same age range throughout the summer.

We strive to incorporate students of all ability levels in camp. Students will need to be able to get along in a group setting with ratios of approximately 10-1. Often, we can supply a counselor's assistant to help your child individually. Please talk to the camp director in advance to make special arrangements for your child. Giving us advance notice helps to make sure we can accommodate the student in addition to helping them have a successful time in camp.
