General Information
Summer registration opens around
the beginning of February.
The summer catalog is usually
available by the end of March. However, most summer classes are
up on our website by mid February.
To secure a spot in the class, payment needs to be taken at time of registration either online, by phone, or in our office (540 S. Arapeen Drive #20). Payment Plans are available. Please call for more information, some restrictions apply.
Generally, all camps and classes
are a weeklong and vary between half-day and full-day.
Online registration closes the
Thursday before camp starts. We can take phone registrations
until the Friday before the camp begins, if it isn't full.
Outside of fencing and golf, all
other athletic camps are hosted through the University's
athletic department. You can contact athletic summer camps
(football, basketball, soccer): www.utahutes.com or
801-581-8171.
We offer a 15% discount on tuition
for all current U employees. Scholarships may be available for
those who qualify. Please, visit our scholarship page for more
information.
Parents are not allowed to sit in on any of our camps or classes. We’ve found that children behave better without their parents in the class. Exceptions must be approved by Youth Education and the instructor.
If you’re interested in teaching a class for us, contact us at youth@continue.utah.edu.
Campus Camps
Most of our instructors are
teachers. Instructors can also be graduate students and
industry professionals in their field.
Currently, we do not offer any
residential options for Campus Camps. Please, visit Pre-College
at the U for residential options.
Youth Academy of Excellence
YAE is designed for bright and motivated students. Those in gifted and talented programs are especially encouraged to enroll. A formal application is not required.
Pre-college at the U
Typically, our instructors are
University of Utah graduate students or faculty.
Yes, some of our camps have
residential options.
High School classes
We have found that students
generally increase their scores by two to three points
(difference between diagnostic test score at the beginning of
the class and the full-scale proctored test at the end of the
class).
Yes. The exception is English
literature and creative writing (each a half credit, but
students have the option of taking both for a full credit).
For English literature & composition, the homework is mostly
reading. For creative writing, the homework often involves
bringing a typed piece to class to be critiqued.>
