March 11, 2014 — Extended Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno presents another fun-filled summer with KIDS University (we call it KIDS U, for short), a day camp open to children entering grades 2-8, with seven weeklong sessions and cool class subjects to energize minds and bodies all summer long. The camp runs Monday–Friday, from June 16-Aug. 1, 2014, and includes half-day morning sessions and full-day sessions. Early registration is encouraged as some sessions can fill fast. KIDS U is held at the University of Nevada, Reno and is a great way to introduce young scholars and student athletes to campus activities and experiences while enjoying a summer of fun.
