SEMO Camps

Have a great time as you learn something new: you'll do that here.

We are excited to host a variety of camps, conferences, workshops, and programs that will enrich the personal development of individuals throughout the summer. Summer at SEMO offers a wide variety of academic and special interest opportunities to area youth ranging in age from pre-school to college through one-day, multi-day, and overnight summer programs and camps. Each program or camp is designed to highlight a particular field of study or skill and to encourage everyone to explore their potential.

Summer Music Academy Classes

Are you ready for some summer musical excitement? Join a class and let's have some fun! Make music, make friends, and have fun while doing it during our summer classes. It’s not about hitting the right note or being the best-it’s about enjoying the experience, having fun, and picking up some new skills and friends along the way. Classes are taught in our state of the art Piano Lab (Room RCS 404) on at the River Campus.

Redhawk Kids Camp

Redhawks Kids Camp (RKC) is designed for children entering grades 1-6 in the Fall of 2026. Campers must have completed kindergarten and may not have started grade 6.

Redhawks Kids Camp is a very active day camp, full of fun games, activities, water games, swimming, walking field trips, and crafts. Our camp counselors are SEMO students who have the energy to match the campers.

To keep to a low camper-to-counselor ratio, we have a maximum capacity. Spots are open until filled.

Register for one or all weeks. Registration must be received and purchased by Wednesday of the week of camp. We do not allow walk-up registration the week of camp. The cost for the Redhawk Kids Camp for faculty and staff is $185 for a full week and $150 for a 4-day week. The cost for community members is $225 for a full week and $180 for a 4-day week.

Campers may be dropped off after 7:30 a.m. and must be picked up by 4:30 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Eric Redinger.
