Led by De Smet Jesuit coaches, teachers, and students, our camps are all about pushing yourself, making new friends, and having an unforgettable summer. Come see what it means to be a Spartan!

Integrated mathematics requires a strong foundation in the algebra concepts introduced in 8th grade. This course will provide a review of important math topics to help students build the necessary understanding to find success in Algebra 1 or Integrated Mathematics 1. Using an individualized approach, students will improve their algebra skills while exploring meaningful problems that require knowledge of many math concepts. The course will also help build problem-solving techniques in preparation for the type of work required in the ninth-grade courses.

Engage with current faculty and practicing pharmacists, view experiments in the lab and interact with current students to find out what it’s like to be a pharmacy student at UMKC. Join us for a one-day, fun-filled pharmacy camp in June! Take part in making actual medicine in the compounding lab. Hear from community pharmacists about their daily roles. Interact with clinical pharmacists in specialty practices such as oncology, pediatrics, cardiology, emergency room and more. Learn from School of Pharmacy faculty and students about what it's like to be a member of UMKC at all three campus locations.

Designed for ages 6+, this design-focused camp lets kids reimagine their rooms with personalized projects and stylish handmade decor. Expect a week full of: Screen-Free Summer Fun Creative STEAM Skills Confidence Through Crafting

Bacteriophages are tiny phage viruses that attack bacteria, and are useful in human medicine. A huge, invisible world of phage viruses are yet to be discovered. We explore or campus in search of these novel phages. We purify, visualize, and characterize new phages as part of an ongoing research project. Join us for a week of authentic scientific research in the field and at the laboratory bench alongside college professors as we explore the fascinating world of phage viruses and microbiology.

Students dive into the world of 3D design and printing! Kids will learn the foundations of 3D modeling, explore slicing software, gain an understanding of troubleshooting skills and bring their digital creations to life using a 3D printer. No modeling or printing experience needed!

What do self-driving cars, Alexa, and iPhone’s face recognition technology have in common? They are driven by modern advances in artificial intelligence. Whether you’re interested in law, healthcare, art, or economics, AI is poised to transform every discipline and industry in the future. AI is already all around us today, and by the end of the program, students will understand the underlying concepts and motivations behind technology such as computer vision, neural networks, and natural language processing. In this course, we will explore the foundations of machine learning and explore different applications of machine learning models. In the first half of the course, students learn AI’s core technologies including applications, foundational concepts, and programming tools through live lectures and coding labs. Students will not only learn about different types of machine learning models, but also apply those models to real data sets. In the second half of the course, students will complete an instructor-led group project applying AI to the discipline of their choice (e.g., music, healthcare, astrophysics, finance, etc.), utilizing the programming skills they developed in the first half.

The goal of the AP Computer Science A Bootcamp is to help students prepare for and gain exposure to topics covered in AP Computer Science A. Students taking AP Computer Science A at MICDS expressed that a foundational course would have been beneficial. This course is designed for students who have minimal previous coding experience and will be focused on introducing students to writing and analyzing code, thinking algorithmically, iterative development and debugging, and programming ethics. Students will come into the school year familiar with topics from the first units of the semester and with their programming environments set up and ready to go.

Discover the magic of math at our YouCubed Math Camp! Whether you’re a math enthusiast or someone who’s looking to build confidence, this camp will make numbers exciting and fun. Campers will dive into hands-on activities, puzzles, and creative challenges that bring math to life in surprising ways. It’s the perfect place to explore, learn, and maybe even fall in love with math. Join us for a week of discovery, problem-solving, and plenty of "aha!" moments!

Designed for ages 6+, this camp encourages self-expression through colorful, wearable, and functional projects—all made by hand. Expect a week full of: Screen-Free Summer Fun Creative STEAM Skills Confidence Through Crafting
