This page is updated in late Jan./early Feb each year for the upcoming summer. Want to be notified when that happens? Sign up here.

Well before students can enroll in college, there are summer options at Minnesota’s private colleges. Some are for high schoolers, others for younger kids. Whatever their age, they’ll find new ways to explore existing passions or develop new ones — from sports to music to languages. Some are away camps, others run during the day. See for yourself how our colleges are offering something unique, helping teens, tweens and younger kids get more out of summer.
