Each summer has brought together young people and unique enrichment activities - core subjects enrichment, sports, arts and crafts, field trips, music, outdoor recreation, and entertainment.
UTRGV Arts and More Summer Camp is a special summer place where youth with disabilities can relax, explore, develop new skills, flex their muscles, and learn teamwork; all in a fun-filled atmosphere of support on a beautiful UTRGV Campus outdoor setting along the Rio Grande.
Arts and More Summer Camp offers 2 weeks of camp each summer which are attended by a total of 30 children and youth. The camp is overseen by the Border Spices director and staffed by graduate students and educators who are assisted by many community volunteers.
The summer camp is a non-profit, and operates through grants and other in-kind contributions from the Office of Special Education.
The UTRGV property is owned and maintained by the UTRGV. The summer camp is operated by the UTRGV College of Education and other staff which is comprised of local directors -- professors, parents, and community representatives.
