Â鶹AV

Â鶹AV is offering a wide range of summer camps in 2026 for students of all ages, with programs spanning arts, music, business, computer science, engineering, athletics and STEM enrichment activities on its Beaumont campus.

The university sponsors camps designed to introduce students to hands-on learning experiences and college environments, with offerings open to elementary, middle and high school students depending on the program. New camps are added regularly, and officials encourage families to check the university’s summer camps page for updates and registration details.

Before attending, campers are required to complete mandatory waivers and forms prior to the first day of camp. University officials note these documents are separate from camp registration, which must be completed individually for each program.
