Camps on Campus
Description
Who We Are
Every summer, UNC Charlotte’s Camps on Campus welcomes thousands of rising 1st through 12th graders to Main Campus for engaging experiences in science, engineering, art, robotics, wildlife, reading, design, and more.
Camps on Campus is a place where kids can try something new, discover a passion, build confidence, and make lasting memories - all while experiencing life on a college campus.
In 2026, Camps on Campus welcomed a record more than 2,300 children to campus. With your help, we can make that experience possible for even more kids.
Help Make Summer Learning Accessible
For many children, summer camp is more than a week of fun. It’s a chance to discover something they love, learn by doing, and see new possibilities for their future.
Your gift helps make those moments possible.
Donations to Camps on Campus help provide the materials, supplies, activities, and resources needed to create engaging, hands-on camp experiences for children throughout our community.
Any amount helps!
Why Give?
A child might arrive at camp curious about science and leave dreaming about becoming an engineer. They might discover a love of art, make a new friend, build confidence, or experience a college campus for the very first time.
Your support helps kids:
- Discover new interests and talents
- Learn through hands-on experiences
- Grow their confidence and skills
- Connect with new friends and mentors
- Imagine what's possible for their future
PLEASE GIVE TODAY!
Every gift helps create a summer filled with discovery, learning, friendship, and fun.
Whether you give $10, $25, $50, or more, you can help a child discover something new.
