COVID-19 impact on ASU SummerUp Camps

Following public health guidelines, we are carefully monitoring the ongoing situation. Like many of you, this uncertainty impacts our planning for summer camp sessions. We are dedicated to providing meaningful summer experiences for our campers but we are also realistic about many families’ ability to plan given the uncertainty.
Currently, some of our partners have postponed their support. The camps affected are now rescheduled for summer 2021 as indicated below.
Meanwhile, we continue to anticipate hosting traditional in-person camps. But our teams and partners are actively planning how to transition summer camps to virtual, remote sessions should public health officials continue to recommend social distancing. While this would be a disappointment to both our campers and staff, we want to continue to offer interesting and valuable learning experiences to our campers.  FAQ page  |  Latest ASU updates  | 

Join other high school students for an overnight, weeklong summer enrichment experience on Arizona State University’s West campus.

At ASU SummerUp Camps, you will have the opportunity to live and dine on campus, and experience life as a college student — This is a great way to up your skills and challenge yourself academically, while becoming a more competitive college applicant.

For the week students will stay on campus with 24 hour supervised staff, living in our beautiful facilities. They will have recreational activities planned in our Sun Devil Fitness Center, learning opportunities in a fun environment, causal hangouts after dinner in our eating areas and a chance to get the full experience of summer camp, minus the mosquitos and bug bites!
