Youth and High School Programs

It’s Never Too Early to Be a Yellowjacket!

Explore, learn and grow through camps, clinics and college-ready experiences.

UW-Superior offers a wide range of youth and high school programs – from academic clinics and educational summer camps to music festivals and sports camps – that invite K–12 students to learn, explore, and grow in a university setting. Participants engage with UW-Superior faculty and staff while gaining hands-on experience and access to campus facilities, resources, and college-ready opportunities.
