Academic Camps – Science, Space and Computer camps
Combine summer fun with serious learning at an academic camp.
For students seeking a specific educational experience, whether a day camp focused on digital design or a sleep away camp featuring foreign language immersion, academic summer camps are the ideal way to blend focused learning, fun and friendship.
Convert your children's vacation lethargy into year-round energy as they participate in creative, challenging programs that foster summer learning gains instead of losses.
If an educational camp conjures images of resentful kids swatting at mosquitoes while sweating out lectures in a stuffy classroom, you're in for a surprise. If you are seeking remedial help or new academic challenges for the young student in your family, an educational summer camp offers learning with a difference.
When your child is sprawled under a shady tree on the lush grounds of a college campus, getting individualized instruction from an enthusiastic teacher, in the company of kids from all over the world, learning takes on a different meaning.
At an academic summer camp, you can blend scholastic study with the opportunity to make new friends, discover new places, and still have time for fun summer activities – from swimming and horseback riding to visiting local amusement parks and singing around the campfire.

Let your youngster take another stab at coursework he may have found difficult during the school year, or get a challenging class like chemistry out of the way. Or you may want to delve into one of a variety of courses offered by college and private school summer education programs and explore a subject in which you've always had an interest, but never the time, to study – like computer game design, cartography, marine studies or Danish language arts!
Your teen may want to get a head start in learning about college life, and many academic camps center around that purpose. Campus-based camps offer participants the opportunity to live in dormitories and get a real feel for college life; even offering programs to raise SAT/ACT scores and teach confidence-building study skills for the coming year of transition. Keep in mind that some programs may require a placement exam for a particular subject, and expect that homework may also be assigned during the session. Academic camps for older teens tend to be operated by colleges or universities, and thus, may be more expensive than typical summer camps.
An academic summer camp can rekindle a love of learning, spark new interests and fire up enthusiasm and self-confidence. Explore the broad range of education-oriented camps online or through a summer camp directory.
