Teachers may explore sustainable teaching and the benefits of movement in the classroom. These programs are offered by many CSU departments and organizations hosting events on the Fort Collins campus. Contact information is provided for each.
Summer 2024 program and registration information will continue to be updated throughout Spring 2024, so please check back periodically. Registration deadlines for most camps vary from January through May. CSU Youth Sport Camp’s Virtual Summer Camps resource has no-cost health and fitness activities for children and families to stay entertained at home.
We encourage you to also explore summer programs available at CSU Spur in Denver and through the Poudre School District.
Social Justice Thru the Arts
July 17-22, 2023
This Summer 2023 institute will teach basic social justice concepts through arts-based practices. Participants will integrate all they have learned by working with the featured artist to create an art piece from a social justice framework.
Students collaborate alongside CSU faculty, students, and community educators through team building, intercultural dialogue, and collaboration across differences, nurturing individual and collective voices, and fostering community dialog by emphasizing skills that promote social justice advocacy. In the process they not only learn what a career in the arts through a social justice lens looks and feels like but also how the art fits into their lives and communities by addressing issues of equity, belonging, access, justice, and how the creative process is a part of all of our stories.
The experience will also include expert advice on applying to college, admission requirements, financial aid, housing, and careers.
