2026 Summer Camp Offerings
Please note: Because of updates to Penn State’s youth registration system, Science-U camp eligibility is now determined by a child’s age on the first day of each camp. We understand this may raise questions for some families. Please feel free to reach out to us at sciencecamps@science.psu.edu with questions or concerns.
