Almost all IN-PERSON camps will be in ML2 building in UT Dallas main campus in Richardson. We will use Parking lot H for drop-off and pickup parking. Address: 2540B Drive H, Richardson, TX 75080 More logistics details will be sent one week before each camp/workshop starts.
All our elementary kids’ camps are VIRTUAL only. All middle & high school camps are offered in both VIRTUAL and IN-PERSON modes – all the sessions will be recorded as well to enable the students to catch up on missed sessions or to review again. We have realized, while intense half-day / full-day weekly camps fit the families’ schedules well, it does NOT necessarily result in good learning experience for the students ☹ So, we are limiting all our sessions to max 1 ½ hours each and our camps are stretched to go for multiple weeks to cover the full content. We do NOT recommend signing up for multiple camps in the same week either. Like recent Summers, we will NOT be providing any snacks or lunch. If you prefer to have your own schedule & progress in your own pace, you can sign up for Private Tutoring – details @ k12.utdallas.edu/custom.
If you are an advanced level student and you are ready to move beyond these camp topics & get exposed to college level material & research, visit k12.utdallas.edu/research for details and application process.

We expect to have 3-6 campers in a typical Elementary kids’ camp & 6-12 campers in a typical middle / high school camp to ensure high quality and to ensure that each camper gets the necessary attention from the instructor. Registration closes approximately 2 weeks before each camp’s start date to do the camp setup and get ready. We will try to accommodate late requests if there is space – $50 late fee applies – Email or text to initiate late registrations. The cancellation fee is $25 per transaction. Pro-rated amount will be refunded for cancellations after the camp start date.
Windows laptop or MacBook is required for all camps, unless explicit instructions are given in the camp description. You can buy a decent laptop for ~$200 now – HP Stream 11 laptop is a good example. Chromebook should work for most camps too (except for Alice camp).
Summer camp descriptions: k12.utdallas.edu/desc (treat it like a catalog – only a subset of topics are offered this summer). All the times below are in US Central time.
Note #1: Same content is repeated in each session of the camp – so it does not make sense to register for multiple sessions of the same camp!
Note #2: Our registration system does NOT allow you to register for 2 different camps in the same session, even though they occur in different times. In that case, go ahead and register for the first camp and let us know the name of second camp – we will do a manual override and register for the 2nd camp.
Note #3: All the camp sessions run 5 days a week (Monday-Friday). There are NO sessions on Saturdays & Sundays.
Note #4: Prerequisite for each camp is mentioned below for informational purposes only. It is not meant to force anyone to take a camp! If the camper has already completed an equivalent camp elsewhere OR learned the prerequisite content on his/her own, there is NO need to take the prerequisite camp again!! In other words, it is up to each camper/family to decide which camp to attend.
