DeKALB – Visual arts, theater and instrumental jazz are on the summer camp agenda at Northern Illinois University this summer. These six-day residential camps for junior and senior high school students are scheduled in July. Campers work with faculty, alumni and students and gain a greater appreciation for the life of an artist.

Campers sleep and eat in newly-refurbished residential halls on campus and enjoy a variety of evening recreational activities that include bowling, basketball and movies.

General camp fees are $505 before June 1 and $565 after June 1. Visual Arts Camp has an additional supplies fee. Discounts are available to returning campers and to children and grandchildren of NIU faculty, staff and students. Camp scholarships are available; applications are due by May 1.
