Health and Safety Statement Summer 2023
We recognize how important the health and safety of our campers and camp staff are. Temple University requires all students, faculty, staff and contractors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to safeguard the health and wellness of our community. There are 2 ways to comply with this policy:

Masks are not required on campus except for in healthcare or clinical environments. If a student wishes to wear a mask, they are welcome to do so.

Summer Education Camps: A Brief History
Temple University has been offering Summer Education Camps since 1989 at our Ambler campus location. Summer camps are a fun-filled approach to academic subjects in small-group settings. More recently, we've been able to expand some summer camp programming to Temple's Main and Center City campuses. Summer Education Camps provide a wonderful opportunity for youth to learn about a specific area of interest, experience a college campus, meet new friends, and have fun at the same time. Our summer camp instructors are primarily local, area schoolteachers, or professionals in their field, who enjoy sharing their passions and enriching the lives of children through educational opportunities.
