For the past 30 years, Clemson University has offered a summer enrichment program for gifted middle and high school students. In addition to challenging courses, we provide opportunities for fun, friendship and a Clemson experience. This year’s program has even more to offer with new classes available for all students. A balanced schedule of educational, recreational and cultural activities will help broaden your academic skills and develop your creative abilities. You’ll take exciting classes during the day while your evening and weekend activities may include nature study hikes, small group discussions with Clemson faculty, and career and educational guidance. In addition, you’ll enjoy movies, tennis, swimming, racquetball and trips to University laboratories, the John C. Calhoun House, the S.C. Botanical Garden, the Hanover House and the Clemson Forest. This summer experience will give you a taste of life as a Clemson student. Clemson University faculty will conduct your classes in University facilities. You’ll use University materials and equipment to conduct your scientific investigations. You’ll live in a semiprivate room in a campus dormitory and eat in a University dining hall. Qualified counselors will supervise dormitory life and all activities. You’ll have complete access to area medical facilities, including the University health center. If you’re an advanced high school student, the two-week classes provide a great opportunity to delve deeply into specialized topics. All middle and high school students will enjoy the one-week introductions to college subjects. If you've attended this program in the past, you'll see we're offering five new and exciting courses. We encourage you to take a look at Clemson’s Summer Scholars program.

The 9th Grade Bootcamp combines Science, English, and Math courses in a full-day experience for rising 9th-grade students. Through these classes, students are able to review and strengthen skills in each discipline that are critical for success as an Upper School student, and prepare for the year ahead. Students may sign up for the Bootcamp or take one or two classes individually. The schedule and course descriptions are below:

The STEM 1.5 course is designed both to allow students a review of previously-learned content and to preview content covered during the first semester of Science 10. Using a variety of lab-based lessons, we will cover important content and skills. During the first week, we will cover 9th grade (mostly end-of-the-year) chemistry skills that are required understanding for moving into 10th grade science. We will have a chance to go over the end of year 9th grade exam, identify areas of strength and weaknesses, and then focus our time on strengthening those skills. The primary focus is on atomic structure, periodic trends, electron configurations, balancing equations, and mole calculations. Week 2 is primarily a preview into the skills needed at the start of 10th-grade science. We will primarily focus on stoichiometry. 

This in-person program is inclusive and welcomes all genders and non-binary youth who are interested in learning design-thinking and creating a diverse pipeline for future careers in STEM.

The Pre-Screagle Summer Institute (PSSI) offers academic, social/emotional, and professional development programming to provide incoming students support and services to aid in their transition to college.

Customize your own Minecraft world and mod the classic game in this one-of-a-kind camp.  Learn scripting and logic statements as you create your first mods.  Students will create a wide variety of new elements, gameplay mechanics, and world generating mods to change the way you play Minecraft.  Projects will be available on a password protected Black Rocket website to share with friends and family. Students must have the Java version of Minecraft to take this camp.  Tablet, phone, and game console versions of Minecraft are not compatible.  Returing students can create more advanced projects that build on previous years.

Camp participants will tackle big questions like "What does it take to be a doctor?" and "How do you deal with life-threatening emergencies?" They'll learn about the key responsibilities of a doctor and how to administer first aid in emergency situations. These future heroes will learn about lung disease, how to perform CPR and Heimlich maneuver, broken bones, hypothermia, how to use a stethoscope, snake bites, discuss the steps to becoming a doctor, and more. 

Bring your favorite Minecraft adventures to life with our enthusiastic Play-Well instructors.
