Each summer Alfred University welcomes high school students to our campus to participate in exciting academic institutes in astronomy, creative writing, entrepreneurial leadership and women's leadership. We also offer basketball, equestrian and swim camps. Our beautiful campus, nestled in New York State's lovely Finger Lakes region, is the perfect place to experience learning and living in a collegiate setting. Students can explore fascinating subjects, meet others from all over the country with similar interests and levels of academic or athletic ability and have lots of fun. Classes, taught by distinguished faculty members, are kept small to allow for individualized attention and optimal use of equipment. Students also enjoy recreational activities, stay in modern residence halls and have meals in the University dining hall. Living and learning together, these students get to know each other well and often develop life-long friendships.
