New to University of Houston Summer Program. Childhood is the easiest time to learn a foreign language. They naturally immerse themselves in the new language. The earlier children start to learn, the more likely they are to speak without an accent. With LanguageCamp, kids and teens will have opportunity to learn French, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. The classes are taught by highly trained, native-fluent speakers who are experienced in teaching children.

Students aged 10 to 17 who are not content just to use a computer but need to understand the guts of applications and programming will find satisfaction at CompuCamp.

Elementary and junior high students choose from a wide range of math and communications courses, designed for fun as well as improvement. High school students hone their SAT skills because, next stop – university!
