We have chosen the University of Michigan campus to host our academic summer camps for kids and teens because it is one of only two public institutions consistently ranked in the nation’s top ten universities. The University of Michigan boasts one of the largest health care complexes in the world, the top university library system in the country, and some of the best computer access for students and faculty.

Getting to Campus: Our specific location on campus at this Michigan summer camp, along with maps and driving directions, will be found in your Camp Account after you register. Detroit Metropolitan International Airport is located 20 miles east of the University of Michigan, approximately a 35 minute drive away from campus, making it the perfect Day Camp and Overnight Camp location. Come check out our summer camps in Michigan, including our Michigan youth camps and camps for teens in Michigan.
