Events

Our camps are immersive ways for young students to dive into the arts during the summer.

Take advantage of these unique opportunities for your students to learn from our faculty, students and guest artists in various disciplines. We invite young students to explore the visual arts during a week-long day camp at Exploring Arts Camp. And middle and high school jazz students can stay on campus to play jazz with friends at UNC Jazz Camp for 6 days each July. Plus UNC Choir Summer Camp is a week-long, overnight experience designed for middle and high school singers who are ready to grow as musicians, performers and leaders.

Why choose an arts summer camp?

  • Teach teamwork and communication skills by working with other students

  • Give kids a chance to explore new art forms and discover talents or interests they didn’t know they had

  • Strengthen problem-solving and critical thinking skills through arts activities
