The University of Nevada, Reno announced on Apr. 3 that registration is now open for its KIDS University summer camps, which will take place from June 15 to Aug. 7 on the university campus. The camps are designed for children ages 7 to 14 and offer a variety of full-day, weeklong programs.
The summer camps aim to combine fun with learning by introducing campers to the college experience and helping them discover their strengths. According to the university, many participants return in subsequent years and some eventually become counselors.
This year’s lineup includes 27 different camp options covering subjects such as art, world cultures, coding, robotics, creative writing, Harry Potter-themed activities, space exploration, health care topics, math and animals. New offerings include golf instruction through “Biggest Little Golf Camp,” architecture in “Fantasy Architects,” Spanish language immersion, cooking classes, spy-themed problem solving in “Secret Agent Academy,” digital painting with provided graphics tablets during camp hours in “Pixel Painting,” guitar lessons requiring campers to bring their own instruments in “Tune Academy: Learn Guitar,” videography and stop motion animation projects under “Lights, Camera, Create!” and more.
The camps are taught by certified teachers and graduate students as well as professionals from various fields through the university’s Extended Studies unit. Registration costs $325 per week for most sessions; however, weeks beginning June 15 and June 29 are priced at $260 each due to holidays when no camp will be held (June 19 and July 4).
