Summer Youth Camps 2019

Location

All youth camps will be taking place in Nicholson Hall on the University of Minnesota campus.

Camp Drop-off

Camp leaders will be waiting to check in your camper outside of the north entrance of Nicholson Hall on Pillsbury Drive. If you’re driving, you can pull up and drop off your student at the entrance, where camp staff will greet you. If you would like to park on campus and walk your child to Nicholson Hall, the nearest parking ramp is the Church Street garage, which charges an hourly fee.

  • The morning session begins at 9:00 am. We will have a greeter beginning at 8:30 am.
  • The afternoon session begins at 1:00 pm. We will have a greeter beginning at 12:30 pm.

Camp Pick-up

At the end of each camp, staff members will be waiting with students outside of the north entrance of Nicholson Hall on Pillsbury Drive. Similar to drop-off, you can pull up and pick up your student, or park in the Church Street garage. To ensure the safety of all campers, please pick up your child in a timely manner.

  • Pickup time for the morning session will be 12:00 pm.
  • Pickup time for the afternoon session or all-day participants will be 4:00 pm.

Food and Beverages
