Campers will discuss how animals have adapted and evolved to live in their environment, including an investigation into some crazy animal features.
Plants surround us wherever we go. Learn about habitats, insects good and bad, vegetables and flower beds and take home your own indoor plant to care for with your new skills!
Learn about how to properly dissect things in this safe, messy, sometimes gross camp! Campers will learn proper lab techniques while doing actual dissection. This is a hands on class and students need to wear closed toed shoes and clothes that can get messy.
This camp is hands-on experimentation that will have our campers on the edge of discovery! Learn about physics and chemistry, scientific methods all while wearing your goggles! Campers will get dirty so dress appropriately!
What's inside a moving, noise making toy? Put on your safety goggles, get out the tools and let's find out! Once you have it all apart, you will rebuild it to make something new! What will your Frankenstein look like when your done? Each camper takes home their new creation at the end of the week!
Let’s plan a two week trip to France and Spain. We will explore the French and Spanish cultures by planning our travels, choosing the cities we want to visit, activities we would like to do, and discover what scrumptious French and Spanish foods we will eat! Of course we will celebrate French and Spanish cultural events, engage in fun conversations, and maybe even sneak in a few (age appropriate) French cartoon movies and Spanish novelas! Bon voyage! ¡Buen viaje!
Do you love sports and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)? Learn how to calculate your own field goal percentage, just like the greatest players in the NBA! This camp includes activities in Basketball, Football, Soccer and Volleyball!
The Digital Culture Summer Institute is our long-standing summer program on ASU’s Tempe campus for students in 6th-12th grades to take classes in digital media, arts, and technology. Week-long, project-focused classes are taught by faculty and graduate students.

What is the key to success for teens and young adults? Success isn’t just about doing well in school or getting into a good college. Being successful is about discovering your strengths, mastering your emotions, and adding value wherever you go. A child is only truly successful when they learn to be happy and confident with who they are.
