Summer Programs
| CSU will be closed on July 3rd, 2026. |
We offer programs to students from kindergarten to 12th grade. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in career exploration and both academic and athletic programs on our campus this summer. The camps will expose pre-collegiate students to careers in engineering, chemistry, and the health professions (for example: nursing, occupational therapy, and pharmacy). No previous experience is necessary to join the camps—just a curiosity to learn, explore new professions, have fun! Seats are limited so apply early!
