Summer in the Arts at Northern

The College of Visual and Performing Arts has been enriching the lives of junior and senior high school students for more than 25 years at intensive summer camps.

Campers enjoy six days of focuses arts activities, sleep in university residence halls, and eat in university dining facilities. Classes are taught on-campus by NIU faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and alumni. Each camp concludes with a final show that is open to the public.
