Sam Houston State University’s Camp@Sam program gives high school juniors the opportunity to explore SHSU, learn what to expect in college and how the application process works. Many different university departments host camps that allow students to learn about their programs and develop skills in arts or STEM areas of study.

Sarah Burchett, the communications coordinator for the Center for Community Engagement, believes these camps help the community.

“One of the benefits of having a university in your backyard is that there are many opportunities to participate in events and activities taking place on campus,” Burchett said. “In the summertime specifically, SHSU hosts numerous summer camps ranging from sports and art camps to camps that provide students with a taste of the college experience.”

SHSU believes it is important to continuously provide community members with innovative learning opportunities and hands-on experiences.

“The hope is that participants leave feeling that they have gained a skill or have learned new information that will benefit them moving forward,” Burchett said. “And what’s more, they’ll get to know this beautiful campus a bit better.”
