This summer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute offers students the chance to take academic short courses reflecting the ground-breaking research being conducted in our state-of-the-art facilities. Enrichment Programs and Sports Camps allow today's youth, and tomorrow's leaders, to explore and begin to develop their passions and interests. Each program will be individually priced. Contact us for additional information such as full program descriptions, application/registration forms, and costs.

Children participate in activities ranging from swimming to softball, from cookouts to ceramics, from picnics by the ponds to performances on stage. We also offer supportive academic courses ranging from math to SAT Prep.

Our program is unique. With a variety of separate camps, every family and every child can find the right mix of programs to suit their summer schedules and individual interests. The programs are designed to challenge, engage, and entertain each child and—most importantly—to provide a safe place for discovery, learning, and creativity to blossom. At Poly Prep, students can hone skills in activities they already love. They can also explore new interests and possibilities in depth.
