STEM Summer Camps at Grand Canyon University

At Grand Canyon University, learning and fun for all ages is year-round—and yes, this includes the summertime. Lazy summer days and lounging poolside are great, but that summertime boredom can quickly kick in. GCU offers STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) summer camps for high school students who want to keep learning, growing and preparing for the future over summer break.

What can you expect at GCU’s STEM Summer Camps?

• Spend four days and three nights at our beautiful Phoenix campus

You will learn about electric guitar materials, design and components, as well as the history and background of other musical instruments.
