Middle School Summer Camps

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to present significant challenges in our communities, we are also forced to press pause on the scheduling and registration for the 2021 summer camps.

The faculty and staff of the Continuing Education department at Penn State Berks strive to provide academic enrichment programs that stimulate children in STEM topics through summer programs. We remain optimistic that we will be able to offer such programs again, but will only do so in an environment where we can provide a safe learning environment to your children and our educators.
