From tennis courts to STEM projects to putting on the golf greens, Methodist University’s campus has been buzzing with energy all summer as young scholars and athletes took part in the annual lineup of academic and athletic camps on the MU campus.
Campers had the chance to explore microbe safaris and take a swing Downback (MU’s on-campus golf course), all while getting a glimpse of what it means to be part of the Monarch community. While many of this year’s camps have come to a close, summer isn’t over and opportunities still remain.
Academic Camps
STEM Camp (June 9–13):
Rising 6th–8th graders rotated through labs and classrooms for hands-on sessions in Forensic Science, the Health Sciences, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics, and more. Campers ended the week with a pizza party and camp T-shirt.
- PGA Golf Management (July 7–10):
High school juniors and seniors got a summer experience as a Monarch, staying in campus housing, getting a taste of the collegiate dining experience, attending golf workshops, and learning about the University’s PGM program in the classroom and on the course.
Athletic Camps
Numerous athletic camps have taken place across MU’s fields, courts, and facilities this summer, including:
- Youth and Middle School Football Camps
Boys and Girls Basketball Camps - Baseball Camp

These camps blended fundamentals and fun, with sessions led by Methodist University’s own coaches and student-athletes, providing mentorship and a glimpse into the collegiate athletic experience.
