Rediscover how much fun learning can be!
Engage your mind and refresh your spirit, in just one day and within your budget, at Curiosity Camp, unique summer day camps for adults. University and community experts will help you see an intriguing topic or favorite place in a whole new light by taking you out and about, behind the scenes, or away from it all.
Most Curiosity Camps are held from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and begin and end at the Continuing Education and Conference Center, conveniently located on the University’s relaxing St. Paul campus. Though exact schedules will vary, most Camps begin with lively lectures and discussions that will set the stage for the day’s adventure. Then it’s off to…wherever! Lively field trips will take you out and about, behind the scenes, or away from it all.
With Camps scheduled from June through August, you can attend a Camp each summer month, or create your own trio of Camps in areas about which you’re especially curious.
Each Curiosity Camp costs $125. There is a reduced rate of $100 for Circle of Scholars members, University of Minnesota Alumni Association members, and University faculty, staff, and full-time students. Tuition includes meals and refreshments, and transportation to and from most Camp destinations.
Let your curiosity take hold and revel in the joy of learning.
