Our summer camps at WCU allow for students to socialize and build friendships, learn about new topics, and develop skills while having fun and enjoying time on WCU’s campus! We have excellent faculty and staff from WCU and community partners who specialize in areas and have designed camps for our children and teens that contain customized curriculum students will be interested in.  Camp leaders have a passion of sharing their knowledge and hope to grow students’ interest in learning outside of the traditional classroom settings of school.
