The University of California Summer Camp offers a challenging academic environment for gifted students aged 9-18, hosted on the prestigious UCLA campus. The program, developed with leading U.S. universities, provides two primary tracks: intensive preparatory courses for college admission and specialized study across more than 80 disciplines, from core academics to creative and athletic electives.

Students live in supervised university residences grouped by age and gender, with dedicated mentors providing support. The all-inclusive program features 20 weekly lessons, full-board accommodation, and a structured schedule of on-campus sports, creative workshops, and themed evening events. A weekly full-day excursion complements the academic routine, while older participants enjoy graduated privileges for supervised independence.

This immersive experience allows talented students to deepen their knowledge in chosen fields, collaborate with like-minded peers, and engage with the resources of a top-tier research university, all within a supportive and well-equipped setting.
