How long has MSOE been running Summer Programs?

MSOE has offered summer programs for more than 20 years.

What time is check in and checkout?

You should check in between 3-5 p.m. on the Sunday of the program. Special arrangements can be made for late or early check-in if necessary. Please contact us if you need to make any special accommodations.

Focus and Explore Camps will conclude on Friday around 1 p.m. Special arrangements can be made for late checkout if necessary.

What is a typical day like?

We’ll keep you busy from breakfast through fun activities in the evening hours. Below is a general schedule for each day of camp.

What if I am arriving via air, train or bus?

MSOE will provide ground transportation from General Mitchell Airport and the Milwaukee Intermodal station at no extra cost. Also, if you need to arrive a day early and/or stay a day late due to travel arrangements, you may stay in the residence halls an additional day at no extra cost. A travel form will be provided in the final confirmation packet so we can be made aware of your travel plans. Obtain confirmation of registration prior to making any travel plans.

Can I bring a vehicle to campus?

Yes, however, the vehicle must remain parked the remainder of the program. Participants are not allowed off campus unless previous arrangements have been made. There is no additional cost for parking.

Do I have to stay overnight?

This is a resident overnight camp and we encourage full participation in the program. Under special circumstances, exceptions may be made for commuters.

Will I have a roommate?

Roommate policy is subject to change. Ordinarily, there are 2 campers per room and we can accommodate roommate requests. If there is an uneven number of participants, someone may end up in a single room.

Are the residence halls air-conditioned?

Students attending summer programs will stay in our newly renovated Viets Tower residence hall. The common areas and individual rooms are air-conditioned.

Are the classrooms air-conditioned?

Yes, all classrooms and common spaces are air-conditioned.

How do I register and pay?

You may register online. Please note that payment in full is required at the time of registering and reserving your spot.

What happens after I register?

You will receive a receipt in the email you entered during registration and payment. The next confirmation will come when we send the forms that need to be filled out. We will send them via email in early June. An example of what the forms look like can be found here. If you want confirmation prior to the start of June, feel free to contact us.

What is the refund policy?

We understand that sometimes family plans change, so refunds for summer programs are available if you contact MSOE before June 1. After this date, arrangements of food, lodging, and academic/extracurricular programs will have been set and a refund cannot be issued.
