Youth summer camps: TMC through the eyes of a child

Each summer, Thomas More College invites area youth to enhance their skills in a variety of activities. As a community-focused institution, the College welcomes thousands of children to see TMC through their own eyes, whether that's via a STEM educational camp at the Biology Field Station, an athletic camp on the courts and fields, in the theater at drama camp or at TMC's newest addition, Secret Adventures Camp.
