Welcome to Clemson Home Summer Programs!
Welcome to Clemson Housing Summer Programs! We look forward to hosting your group on campus this summer.
Summer Programs hosts a variety of camps ranging from academic and athletic, to research-based groups. Our team reserves housing and preps your meal information for dining services. We work with our group sponsors to run a smooth check-in/check-out process during your camp’s stay. We will also help you navigate through those processes. Our goal is to make your experience at Clemson University the best it can be! Go Tigers!
Our Process
We understand that organizing a successful summer camp takes a lot of planning and coordination. That’s why we offer a streamlined process and timeline to ensure that you have all the information you need to prepare for your upcoming camp. From initial reservation details in April to check-out instructions two days before the end of your camp, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way. Whether you’re an external or internal group, we’ll make sure you have the necessary information on parking, transportation, meal plans, and risk management requirements. We’re dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for you and your campers throughout the entire process.
Clemson Home Summer Programs is also committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all program participants.
