Think the UW campus slows down during the summer? Well, think again: The university is a mighty busy place well into August as new students and parents attend orientation sessions; camps, clinics and conferences pop up to explore everything from math to music and banking to basketball; and University Housing welcomes more than 100 groups needing places to stay. No matter the subject or the age of the participants, these opportunities offer everyone the chance to explore and learn within the relaxed environment of warm – and sometimes sizzling – temperatures.
