Penn State Lehigh Valley has announced its lineup of one-week, half day youth camps to run from July 11-15. Camp offerings include writing, visual arts, LEGO engineering, math, computer programming, video production, and swimming camps.

These offerings are geared toward students entering grades one to 12.

Camps are offered in the morning (9 a.m.-noon) or in the afternoon (1-4 p.m.). Penn State Lehigh Valley staff will be on hand if parents require early drop-off, lunch time supervision and/or late pick-up

Back for its second year, is the Musikfest Video camp for high school students, which allows campers to go behind the scenes at one of the largest music festivals in the nation with a veteran television journalist for a hands-on video production experience. The Musikfest Video camp will run from Aug. 8-12 and is limited to 10 participants.

"Penn State Lehigh Valley’s Summer Youth Camps are designed to spark both creativity and curiosity in students from elementary to high school," said Doug Antonioli, assistant director of the Penn State Lehigh Valley Writing Project.  "We have one-week camps for every learner and level. This allows students to explore their interests in an educational and engaging way."
