Master in Kids Camps

In Moscow, students study on an ivy-covered campus within a supportive and welcoming community. Campus life includes clubs, sports, housing, dining, lectures, performances and showcases. The university also offers online classes through Campus 360 and in-person study locations in Boise, Coeur d’Alene and Idaho Falls, giving students options beyond the Moscow campus.

The University of Idaho is Idaho’s first and only Carnegie R1 research university. Its academic offerings cover more than 200 areas of study, including agriculture, anatomy, fine arts and business administration. Learning is connected to hands-on experience, internships and career pathways, with research activity that includes using artificial intelligence to track wildfire spread and work related to nuclear energy law.

International students are among the applicant groups served through the university’s admissions process, alongside first-year, transfer and graduate students. Financial support includes scholarships, financial aid and low tuition, while housing and dining options are available on campus. Students can build connections with fellow Vandals through campus activities, explore opportunities across Idaho and take part in the university’s statewide footprint.

Vandal Kids Camps provide an immersive, active environment for children aged 6 to 11 to discover new passions and develop physical and social confidence. Based at the University of Idaho’s Student Recreation Center, these full-week summer sessions move beyond traditional childcare by offering specialized, theme-based programming that challenges youth to step out of their comfort zones.

Distinctive Camp Features

• Skill-Centric Exploration: From technical rock climbing at the Climbing Center to water-based outdoor adventures, children gain hands-on experience in specialized recreation.
• Safety-First Philosophy: With a rigorous 5:1 camper-to-counselor ratio, every child receives close supervision. Counselors undergo comprehensive training in risk management, CPR, first aid, and American Camp Association guidelines.
• Diverse Thematic Tracks: Weekly themes—ranging from 'Lost in Space' science exploration to 'Olympic' sportsmanship—ensure that every child finds a curriculum that matches their unique interests and energy levels.

Whether scaling a climbing wall or engaging in collaborative science experiments, participants are encouraged to build problem-solving skills and teamwork in a communal setting designed to foster long-term confidence and a love for active play.
