APRIL 21, 2025 — With the close of the spring semester just weeks away, preparations for summer programs at UTSA are in full swing. Beginning as early as June, a wide range of camps will be available for children from kindergarten through high school, as well as for young adults.
These programs cater to diverse interests—including science, engineering, architecture, athletics, music and creative writing—giving participants the chance to explore new passions in an engaging environment. Campers will interact with UTSA’s dedicated faculty, staff and students, all while enjoying hands-on experiences and creating lasting memories.
