Top 5 Reasons to Come to Camp in Auburn this Summer …

If you’re anything like me, this is about the time of year when you start wishing for the lazy days of summer. The novelty of snuggly sweaters and fuzzy socks has worn off, and you’re craving sunshine. The perfect cure for those winter blues is having something exciting to look forward to, and Auburn Youth Programs has exactly what you need! Registration is open now for the more than 30 camps held here on campus throughout the summer. And don’t worry, there’s something for everyone from 6th grade to incoming freshman and everyone in between.

Not quite convinced that you should add an AYP Camp to your summer calendar? Here are the Top 5 Reasons that you should definitely join us this summer.

5. Let’s get you into some orange and blue!

Oh, yes! That’s your color. Your camp tee will be a great start, but you can never have too much Auburn gear. A stop by the Bookstore or a quick walk to J&M will have you ready to support our Auburn Tigers from head to toe. Whether it’s a jersey to cheer on our #1 ranked Men’s Basketball team or a comfy sweatshirt to help you remember your Auburn summer, you’re sure to find that perfect souvenir.

4. The Loveliest Village on the Plains

All AYP camps are held right here on Auburn University’s beautiful campus with full access to our state-of-the-art facilities and Auburn’s renowned faculty and staff. If you haven’t visited campus before, you’re in for a treat. Have lunch on Samford Lawn; catch of glimpse of the President’s fountain; be careful not to step on the Auburn Seal; imagine yourself rolling the Toomer’s Oaks in celebration of a big win, and be ready for a possible Aubie sighting as you stroll the concourse. I have no doubt that you’ll quickly see how we earned the nickname of the Loveliest Village on the Plains.

3. There’s Something for Everyone

From Pharmacy to Aviation, a range of engaging and diverse camps are held throughout the summer. Designed to cultivate existing interests or create new curiosity for future career paths, there is truly a camp for everyone. The possibilities are endless! Find your passion. Strengthen your skills. Shape your future.

2. A Formula for Friendship

Attending an AYP camp is the perfect opportunity to meet people who share your same interests and goals. Much like beginning your freshman year of college, living in a residential community (dorm!) setting and beginning a new learning adventure together is the perfect formula to create new and lasting friendships. Who knows? You might just find your future college roommate!

1. Don’t Worry, Be Happy

In 2020 the Princeton Review ranked Auburn #1 for having the happiest students in the nation, and I’m happy to report that it is absolutely accurate! Any Auburn student will gladly tell you how amazing our school is, but it truly is an experience that you need to have for yourself. Auburn Youth Programs Summer Camps give insight into what it truly means to be an Auburn Tiger. Don’t worry about your summer plans! REGISTER TODAY! From one Tiger to another, I promise that you’ll be happy that you did.
