Summer Schools & Camps
Hero
Here, Leadership looks a lot like fun.
Over the course of the summer, you'll build your self-confidence and learn the importance of followership before leadership. You'll find success as part of something greater than yourself, applying leadership skills and discovering how you influence others. Working cooperatively as a team, you'll come to consider the perspectives of others while gaining an appreciation for different cultures and traditions.
Our summer programs bring together more than 1,400 young people from around the world through physical activity, learning opportunities, and new friendships. Culver campers develop positive self-esteem through accomplishment and discipline, and choose from 100 electives — from sailing, to rocketry, to theatre, to fencing.
