Anyone who is 13 to 17 years old and a student in good standing at their school. During the day Youthsummer students are involved in the various experiences supervised by the instructor of their session. In the evening, athletic and social activites are supervised by a staff of experienced counselors selected by UW-Superior s Residence Life Office and the Youthsummer staff. Students living nearby may prefer to live at home and commute to their Youthsummer session. We encourage them to participate in the evening activities.
Commuters are responsible for their own lunches each day, including field trip days.
Commuter students have the option of purchasing meals in the university s cafeteria or snack bar. Students eat lunch and dinner in UW-Superior s Rothwell Student Center, located across the street from the residence halls. Students with special dietary needs may request special provisions. We don t include breakfast because our experience has shown us that two-thirds of students voluntarily skip that meal. UW-Superior has been offering Youthsummer for more than 20 years.
