MAY 2, 2023 — As the school year winds down, UTSA’s summer camp programs are ramping up. Dozens of camp opportunities, many kicking off in June, are available for youth from kindergarten through high school as well as young adults.
UTSA camps cover every interest, from science, engineering and architecture to sports, music and writing. The camps offer participants a place to try something new while having fun and spending quality time with the university's outstanding students, faculty and staff. They also give youth a chance to explore the university setting as a way of creating a college-going culture.
Throughout the summer, UTSA will host half-day and full-day camps at the Main, Downtown and Southwest Campuses. Some will last a few days while others will extend a week or two. Families can register campers by visiting the UTSA Summer Camp website.
