Summer Camps

Summer in the Arts at Northern

Come to Northern Illinois University for summer camps that are truly different. Campers with a passion for the visual arts, the theatre, or jazz get the time to focus on their art – and to learn from the very best teachers. Junior and senior high school students love these camps and many return year after year.

Campers enjoy six days of focused 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.

Last year’s camps closed before the discount deadline date of June 1. Don’t wait until the last minute to register! For more information about summer camps, click on your favorite camp at left or e-mail us at rpage@niu.edu.
