Creative Encounters Summer Camps

2026 Summer Camps registration is now open!

We’re SO excited to be back on campus this July & August with programs for youth entering grades 2-10! This summer will feature all-new camp programs as well as some famous CE themes brought back by popular demand. Learn about each summer’s camp program below.

While some camps focus more on certain STEM areas, we incorporate interdisciplinary learning to expose campers to a wide range of topics. Creativity and artistic expression are encouraged, as they’re key to STEM. All camps also include indoor and outdoor activities to support learning and fun in the summer sun.

NOTE: "Grade" refers to the grade your child will enter this fall. Creative Encounters reserves the right to remove your child from camp if you have registered them for at the incorrect grade level for the camp. Registration has an age limit, the listed age range in the system refers to how old your camper(s) will be as of December 31, 2026. Please ensure that your camper(s) have the correct birth date for their account to ensure a smooth registration process!

Multi-Camp Discount: when registering for two or more camp sections, you will automatically receive $20 off per camp section. This discount only applies until February 27!

PAGES (Promoting Awareness for Girls in Engineering and Science) Takeover: for 2026, we will be offering 5 weeks of PAGES takeovers! These takeovers allow femme-identifying and non-binary youth the opportunity to spend a full week with each other, learning about STEM from all female/gender diverse staff and mentors.

Mentors and Field Trips: every single of one of our camps includes at least one on-campus field trip and visits from UofG researchers and mentors!

Creative Encounters turns 31 this year! With both paid and free programming, CE is committed to our goal of providing equitable and engaging STEM outreach to our communities all year round!
