My son had a good experience in the Rocky's Residents program! It's totally safe and a great way to experience college dorm living before heading to college! The camp counselors and staff are very helpful and responsive.

Our granddaughter had a wonderful experience at USF Justice Camp. She was excited about the learning opportunity, meeting and making new friends, and the exposure to a college campus. She’s already planning to attend 2026.

My son attended the Biomedical Engineering youth program at USF during the week of June 2, 2025, and it was a fantastic experience! The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. Biomedical Engineering is fascinating because it combines creativity and problem-solving to improve human health. I’d highlight the appeal of designing innovative medical devices, like prosthetics or imaging systems, which directly impact lives. The field’s integration of biology, engineering, and technology also offers a dynamic challenge, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare. I really appreciate how USF is making a positive impact in the Tampa Bay community by offering such high-quality programs for kids. Highly recommend to any family looking for engaging STEM opportunities!

My son recently attended USF's Cyber Security camp and had a wonderful experience. The camp content, activities, communication and organization were excellent. He learned so much and most importantly had fun. The counselors were incredibly engaged and friendly. They also had excellent security and a very easy drop off and pick up set up. I highly recommend them.
