Belmont Biology professor Dr. Steve Murphree encourages school-aged children to explore the world of insects at Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies summer day camps. The 2 or 3 hours/day camps will introduce children to the biology of insects and other arthropods. Short field trips for collecting and observing insects will be taken daily. Children are encouraged to bring in insects for discussion and materials such as collecting equipment, field guides and refreshments will be provided.
Class sizes will range from 10-24 students. All classes will meet on the Belmont University campus in the Janet Ayers Academic Center room 3081. Refreshments will be provided.
The Belmont College of Sciences and Mathematics will host 5 hands-on high school camps in 2023.
The O’More Summer Studio program invites high school students will work alongside practicing professionals and engage in college-level instruction during one-week sessions focused on Fashion. The O’More Summer Program does not provide any college credits, official transcripts, housing, or meal plans, but we do provide a letter of completion upon request. Each week will also end with a celebratory reception showcasing the talents of the students, and an opportunity for family and friends to meet the faculty who love sharing the gift of design with the youth.
The Watkins College of Art summer programs help high school students create portfolio ready work for college applications and scholarship consideration. Participants will engage in college-level instruction from our incredible teaching staff of artists and designers, reflecting the rigor and atmosphere of our university programs. Participants have the choice to mix and match classes in Painting, Drawing, Digital Illustration, Photography, Mixed Media, Fiber Arts and 3D Arts.
