Join us this summer as we celebrate 50 years of career exploration at Summer Youth Programs!
We all know Michigan Tech is special and Michigan Tech’s Summer Youth Programs (SYP) are not your ordinary summer camp. Participants perform chemical diagnostics, program video games, analyze crime scenes, and learn stock market investing! At SYP students design, experiment and create while exploring careers in STEM, Arts, Humanities, and Business.

You can help your student spark their curiosity, explore interests, and make an impact! Enrollment is open for 2022 programs and many courses are filling fast! View the complete list of 70+ explorations and fill out an online application at http://mtu.edu/syp/discover/courses. Plus, as a Michigan Tech alumni your child or grandchild is eligible for a $50 discount!
Our programs are built on hands-on, engaging projects, field trips, and collaboration- designed to spark curiosity and give students opportunities not always possible in a traditional classroom. We believe every student is deserving of this experience and your gift to the SYP Helping Hands Fund will ensure those facing financial hardships will still have the opportunity to explore their interests and career aspirations, becoming the next generation of makers and doers.
If you have any questions please contact us at the Center for Educational Outreach. We can’t wait to meet your future Michigan Tech Husky this summer!
Does the child have to have already completed sixth grade, or can they be starting sixth grade in the fall?
Hi Suzanne,
Our programs are based on the grade the student has completed by June of the year of programming.
