2013 SummerITeens

SummerITeens

SummerITeens gives area students the opportunity to learn new topics they don't usually see in their home schools. SummerITeens courses use a hands-on approach introducing concepts, linking classroom work with its real-world application by modified experiments, and visiting with area professionals from relevant fields. In a SummerITeens camp, participants expand their career horizons, meet and work informally with SUNYIT faculty and instructors, get to know like-minded students from other districts in the Mohawk Valley, and enjoy many of the fine facilities associated with our beautiful campus.

The application process is two-step: complete and submit the on-line application form; after we review your application, you will receive an email confirmation of enrollment in the specific camp(s) requested.

2013 SummerITeens camps includes Robotics, Girls Math/Science and more! Registration for SummerITeens academic day camps is now open! See application link.
