University Youth & Community Programs is discovery in ACTION with summer day camps that feature daily, physical recreation of all types. Many camps also feature specialized instruction. Action is the name of the game as all campers explore indoor rock climbing, several indoor swimming pools, gym games, organized sports, a new state of the art playground, and many hands on activities. No two days are alike as we highlight the excellent facilities and resources of the Twin Cities campus and beyond.

Kids’ University offers discovery in common University studies such as agriculture, ecology, language, math, and sciences presented through fun, hands-on activities.

A lifetime of activity is within reach through a variety of traditional, unique, and adventure activities in a Minnesota Sport Schools introductory camp.
