Summer Residential Program

State Street, the main road in and out of campus, is undergoing construction this summer. Please keep this in mind when coming to camp. For a current map of construction and updated traffic information see the State Street Traffic Update.

Every summer, for over 43 years, GERI has engaged gifted, creative, and talented students from across the country and around the world in residential camps designed to stimulate their imagination and expand their abilities. Students who have completed grades 5 through 12 live in campus residence halls, take challenging courses, and participate in engaging recreational activities. GERI offers three programs each summer.

What will you experience at GERI Summer Camps?

• Intellectual Challenges
• Personal attention from talented and caring staff members
• Outstanding Purdue University facilities: residence halls, dining halls, classrooms, and labs
• Friendships with others from around the world who share similar interests
• Enjoyable learning and social experiences
