Overview
Education Unlimited runs academic and creative arts summer camps for students in grades 4 through 12, with focused programs hosted on university campuses. Its subject programs span public speaking, writing and science, alongside college preparation and campus tours. Students attend day or overnight camps, or join live online sessions with instructors, to explore an academic interest through classes and projects. Families pay tuition for instruction and activities, with residential fees also covering lodging and meals; Education Unlimited operates independently of its host universities. Founded in 1993, the privately held camp operator is headquartered in Berkeley, California.
