SUNY Oswego's Summer Camps are here to help parents use their children's summer as a path toward discovery. Many parents tell us how lucky they are to have a world-class institution like SUNY Oswego in their backyard and we want to open our doors to you. And we hope someday some of the students will attend Oswego for their higher education.
