CANYON, Texas — Registration is now open for 75 summer youth camps at West Texas A&M University.

Between now and September, WT’s Extended Studies program will offer camps, clinics, academies and more for youth from kindergarten through college interested in a variety of activities, from music to athletics to meat judging to engineering. A full list of camps can be seen here.

Nearly 5,000 students swarmed the WT campus during 86 camps and youth programs in 2024.

“Summer programs at WT offer an exciting opportunity to connect with our vibrant community while giving campers the chance to explore new experiences and create lasting memories on campus,” said Jessica Hanke, Extended Studies director. “These events also allow campers to truly experience the energy and environment of college life firsthand.”

Costs and registration deadlines vary among the different camps. Youth programs are not eligible for credit at WT. Registration fees are subject to change.

Providing regionally impactful programs is a key component of the University’s long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the historic One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which reached its initial $125 million goal 18 months after publicly launching in September 2021. The campaign’s new goal is to reach $175 million by 2025; currently, it has raised more than $160 million.
