Dusty's Junior University Summer Camp

Education plays a vital role in every stage of life--especially during childhood, when curiosity and a love of learning begin to take shape.

Dusty’s Junior University Summer Camp is designed to inspire curious, high-achieving young learners by giving them a glimpse into university life. Campers collaborate with university faculty and staff through fun, hands-on experiences that strengthen academic skills, spark exploration, and foster meaningful friendships.

With four unique camp sessions to choose from—each two weeks long and running Monday through Thursday—Dusty’s Junior University offers opportunities tailored to your child’s individual interests and learning goals. Explore the sessions below to discover the perfect fit for your young achiever.

Young Learners Ages 5 - 10

Welcome to our community of Hummingbirds, Cardinals, and Hawks — where every age group learns, explores, and soars together through creativity, discovery, and unforgettable summer experiences.

Get ready to spark creativity, fuel curiosity, and build lasting friendships! Each day is filled with creative expression, hands-on learning, exciting adventures, and meaningful connections that keep campers engaged, active, and inspired all summer long.
