Auburn University is having
a “Summer Experience”.
These one-week camps
provide opportunities for students to stretch their minds while experiencing a
collegiate lifestyle on our campus. Academic work is balanced with supervised
social and recreational activities designed to allow campers to make new
friends and meet professionals who share their interests. The camps are a
valuable journey of discovery – of self, of the greater world, and of the
Auburn University environment. Early enrollment is encouraged!
