A summer camp for teen-aged fans of forensics is just one of the many exciting and intellectually engaging summertime pursuits offered by the University College at the University of New Haven (UNH) in just a few short weeks. Included are a variety of programs for Connecticut youth, traditional college students, and adult learners this summer, with undergraduate summer sessions, a High School Academy for current high school students seeking college credit, and three challenging and creative academic summer camps for children.
Current undergraduate students, visiting students, and adults seeking personal enrichment have a selection of summer courses to choose from, with Summer Session I beginning on May 21 and Summer Session II beginning July 7.
A new High School Academy provides academically eligible high-school juniors and seniors an opportunity to earn college credit that can be applied to almost any college, including UNH. Course offerings include Introduction to Studio Art, Introduction to Interior Design, Global Studies/Russian Culture, Ethics, Philosophy, Civil Rights, Introduction to Multimedia, Digital Photography and Imaging I, Introduction to Music Industry, Introduction to Music, History of Rock, Elementary Music Theory, and Business of Fun.
The Tagliatela College of Engineering, the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences and the Department of Visual and Performing Arts provide three educational and entertaining summer camps for children: the Engineering & Science Summer Institute for Young Women, the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Camp, and Visual and Musical Arts Camp. All three academic camps are directed by highly esteemed UNH faculty, ensuring a positive and engaging experience for all campers.
The Engineering & Science Summer Institute, August 3 - 7, offers exciting, hands-on activities that will correlate with science and math coursework that attendees are learning in their traditional classrooms. The one-week, residential summer program is open to young women entering grades 6-9.
In the new CSI camp, July 28- August 1, high school students gain hands-on experience dusting fingerprints, analyzing blood samples, and investigating mock crime scenes, and enjoy a special tour of the West Haven Police Department. CSI Camp provides a unique experience, with students teaming up to investigate mock crime scenes and presenting their findings using PowerPoint.
Young children ages 7-12 can also experience life on the UNH campus in the Visual and Musical Arts camp. The camp runs July 21 - August 1. Campers have interactive experiences learning about the arts in daily art and music-related activities, including drawing, painting, dramatic workshops, African drumming, and more.
