Club U is a weeklong traditional summer day camp. It is designed for ages 5-14 and is split by age group into three different programs: Club U Classic (Age 5-9), Club U Jr. Varsity (Age 10-11), and Club U Varsity (Age 12-14). While each age-specific program has some unique features of their own, the majority of Club U employs activities on-site, hosts guest lecturers, takes various field trips, swims at a local pool, and more!
Campus camps are weeklong, full or half-day classes that focus on a specific subject area or skill. The classes are taught by campus departments, subject experts, or community partner organizations.
