Summer Academy Camps
Unforgettable Camps.
Unforgettable Kids.
Summer Academy at the University of Georgia closed its 2026 season of exciting specialty STEAM camps for middle and high school students. More than 1,000 campers experienced fun and engaging programs in medicine, engineering, animation, arts, and science, to name a few.
With nearly 60 camps across seven pathways, there was a camp for all our unforgettable learners! Our campers not only had a great time but also grew and learned through meaningful interactions.
Here’s what some of them had to say:
“I loved the people. From the counselors at the dorm to the instructors to the campers. They all were so energetic and talkative. The instructors specifically really were great in answering any questions I had about wanting to join the medical field and what to do to get to UGA. It was amazing.”
“Overall, I had a great experience, and this is my second camp here at UGA. I love being immersed into my dream school that I will be applying for next year!”
“I loved learning here, and I liked how when we needed it, our instructors gave us downtime when we needed it, letting us process the information better. They were nice, helpful and funny. If I get the opportunity, I’d come again.”
Learners weren’t the only ones who found our camps unforgettable; our parents were delighted by the caliber of instruction and the taste of campus life their kids enjoyed.
Parents say:
“The warmth and knowledge of the counselors, making new like-minded friends, the level of the instruction that continually made her even more curious about the topics, the visit to the hospital and the talk to all staff at camp and at the hospital, the various activities (dissection, sutures, etc.)”
“I think it was wonderful to have individuals in the field of 2D animation teaching the class so that the students see how this applies in real life.”
“It was a great experience and accomplished what I had hoped to help my child on the path to university attendance, ideally UGA.”
We want to provide your learner with an unforgettable camp experience where they can learn new skills and explore career paths in a safe and fun environment. Summer Academy offers expert instruction and focused support, with engaging and specialized programming for any interest your camper might have.
As we close off a fantastic summer filled with learning and growth, we are already preparing for next summer’s camps!
