Spark Curiosity. Explore Interests. Make an Impact.
Camp-like, Mini College Experience.
Since 1972, Summer Youth Programs has inspired the next generation of doers and makers through hands-on engagement and collaboration with Michigan Tech faculty, staff and students. During their time on campus, students live in our full-service residence hall, eat in the dining hall, and participate in an exploration of their choosing. Outside the classroom, students have time to relax and participate in many different supervised recreational activities, taking advantage of Lake Superior, waterfalls, hiking trails, and the natural beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
