Summer camps have been a part of the U.S. tradition for more than 150 years. More than 10 million American children go to camp every summer. But today, summer camps have more to offer than just an escape to the country for a few weeks. Every summer, more than 1,700 eager young minds attend one of the various summer camps offered at Jackson State University.
Designed to meet the interests of campers of all ages, JSU offers more than 40 camps that engage attendees in academics, science, athletics, art and other popular programs. Each program falls under five categories:
Academics/Arts/Activities; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics); Sports-specific; Incoming Freshmen/Undergraduates; and Professional Development Camps for Teachers.
For many children, JSU Summer Camps can serve as a first step on the path to higher education as well as a way for children to make new friends, explore a new interest, learn new skills, get healthy and have fun. Now is the time to think about what activities are best for your child during the summer and where more interest can be explored.
Teachers who want to update and expand their skills and knowledge may also want to register for a summer camp experience at JSU.
