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 UTSA. 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 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
Dates: June 2–16, 2025
Engineering Overview Camps
In this camp, students will be introduced to several fields of engineering including- Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students will explore each type of engineering through hands-on challenges, engineering faculty presentations, and tours of our college’s leading research labs. Students will also leave with an understanding of UTSA Engineering programs and requirements. This camps is one of our most attended camps so we offer it two separate weeks each summer.
Dates: June 9–13, 2025 & June 30–July 4, 2025
Overnight option available
Biomedical Engineering Camp
The Biomedical Engineering high school summer camp is a fantastic opportunity for high school students to get to know what biomedical engineering is all about! During this camp organized in part by the UTSA Biomedical Engineering Society, students will get to learn real technical skills used by biomedical engineers, meet practicing engineers in both industry and academia, and compete in their own make-a-thon where teams will be challenged to create new ideas to help real world issues. Come learn about one of the fastest-growing engineering fields in the country!
Dates: June 23–27, 2025
Overnight option available
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Camp
Join UTSA faculty and students to learn more about robotics and AI. This hands-on camp has assistance from our Robotics and Automation Society who will work with the camp participants to work on a robotics project and competition, construction their robotics project from the coding through the assembly and circuitry. We will also have our faculty host lessons, workshops, and lab tours to better understand how artificial intelligence is being used in industry and research.
Dates: July 7–11, 2025
Overnight option available
Rocketry and Aerospace Engineering Camp
This camp spotlights our aerospace programs at UTSA. Our Aeronautics and Rocketry Club will work with the camp participants to build their own rocket, all while customizing it and understanding the effect of each modification. We will also have our aerospace focused faculty host lessons, workshops, and lab tours to better understand aerospace research and career opportunities
Dates: July 14–18, 2025
