SUMMER IN THE ARTS AT NORTHERN
Find the arts experience of your dreams and make lots of friends at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. Enjoy one of four residential camps in jazz, theatre, and visual arts.

Theatre Arts Camp Junior, NIU Jazz Camp, Visual Arts Camp, and Theatre Arts Camp Senior bring like-minded junior and senior high school students together for a memorable hands-on arts experience.

These intensive camps are for students who take their art seriously and who like to have fun.  Camp staff are NIU faculty, students, and alumni.  Campers stay in residence halls on campus, eat in university dining halls, and enjoy recreational activities on campus.  These popular camps attract a loyal following, with about one third returning to camp the following year.
