WKU Events

A two-week camp held in June, SCATS offers high-ability students who have completed grades 6–8 a unique learning environment to explore new ideas, develop concepts, make friends, and share experiences. Students arrive at the WKU campus from counties around Kentucky, states across the nation, and countries around the world to challenge themselves academically and to meet like-minded peers with diverse backgrounds and interests.

First-Gen High School Summer Camp is designed to build familiarity with campus life; build the skills to be a great college student; and build connections with faculty, staff, current WKU students, and other high school students on the same journey. First-Gen Camp is a residential camp on the campus of Western Kentucky University (WKU).  It is presented by a collaboration of faculty and staff from across the university who are advocates for the university’s F1rst Gen initiative, which is coordinated through the WKU Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning.

High school students who will be sophomores and juniors in the fall are invited to apply.  Check the camp webpage for details: https://www.wku.edu/firstgen/camp/
