Students aged 10 to 17 who are not content just to use a computer but need to understand the guts of applications and programming will find satisfaction at CompuCamp. This high level, hands-on training is so complete that participants with a working knowledge of an operating system like Windows (Mac and Unix users welcome, too!) will leave with a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of computers. Three sessions let us limit class size so each student gets personalized attention from our skilled instructors. Register early for this one – spaces go quickly!

Learning another language has never been so much fun! Through our language immersion summer camps children will acquire a new language in a fun and natural way and will be able to use the language they are learning in a meaningful way. At our immersion summer camps, children will be able to learn Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and French while having a blast! These classes are offered in conjunction with Language Kids World (www.languagekids.com).

Your child will engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities while learning about medical science and the human body. Campers will take part in health-themed interactive experiences and explore all that The Health Museum has to offer. Kids have intelligent fun, make friends, and make the most out of their summer break.

Students aged 6 through 12 who make it their business to always look for new doors or exciting possibilities are primed to experience ScienceCamp, where cutting-edge content lures them into the intriguing world of science. The University of Houston, along with Mad Science, Health Museum and Engineering for Kids, presents a week-long cameo of up-and-coming science concepts using experiments, hands-on projects, and slyly scientific games. It's a grand science adventure that leaves students wide-eyed and breathless!

Summer is not the time to stop learning. It's the time to bone up on skills, get a jump on the coming academic year, take an intensive SAT training, and have a great time with peers while doing it. SummerAcademy short camps offer courses grouped according to grade levels, with small classes for maximum gain. Elementary and junior high students choose from a wide range of math and communications courses, designed for fun as well as improvement. High school students hone their SAT skills because, next stop - university!

WritingCamp is the place for young writers looking to find or develop their voices. The courses range from skills for beginning writers to skills for students who are preparing to enter college.
