Explore UT San Antonio’s Klesse College Summer Camps for High School Students
Day, overnight, and scholarship options available!
Klesse Summer Camp Experience
Meet Carlos Velez, the coordinator of all Klesse Summer Camp Experiences, to hear about what it is like to attend summer camp at UT San Antonio. At our camps, high schoolers can learn about engineering, architecture, and so much more!
Summer Career Academy in Architecture & Interior Design
The Summer Career Academy introduces participants to the careers of professional architects and interior designers and clarifies the academic study necessary to achieve that career goal. The program offers a broad yet intensive hands-on career discovery experience and individual introduction to many basic and important aspects of the practices leading to the design of the built environment. Taught by the School of Architecture + Planning faculty, the program is geared to those with little or no prior experience with studio practices. Participation in Summer Academy enables you to test whether architecture or interior design is the right career decision and help you prepare and qualify for successful application into university level professional design degree.
