Each July, Saint Mary's College offers a wide variety of summer camps for talented young women. In keeping with the Saint Mary's tradition of educating the whole person, these summer camps present opportunities to attend Fine Arts Camp, Athletic Camps, and/or Saint Mary's Summer Academy. Saint Mary's College Campus Ministry and Office of Multicultural Affairs each also offer a week of camp entitled Spiritual Leaders and Encuentro respectively.

Campers stay in residence halls with 24-hour supervision by our camp staff. Instruction is provided by Saint Mary's faculty, varsity coaching staff, and area educators chosen for their expertise and experience. Saint Mary's students as well as college students from other area schools provide assistance in the classroom, on the playing fields, and in the residence halls.

Meals are prepared by Saint Mary's College Food Services/Sodexho in our College dining hall. For the health and safety of all our participants, the programs offer 24-hour nursing services and security on campus. Background checks are required for all of our staff members.
