Michigan Tech's Summer Athletic Programs provide high school and grade school athletes with quality instruction and an opportunity to improve developmental skills in their sports, which include basketball, cross country running, figure skating, hockey, mountain biking, tennis, and volleyball.

All summer athletic programs are held at the Student Development Complex, a $20 million facility opened in September 1980.

The Michigan Tech Summer Athletic Program provides both recreational and social opportunities in a relaxed atmosphere. However, all participants must follow certain rules, including a prohibition on using or possessing alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, or illegal drugs. In addition, participants must not leave their groups. Failure to follow these rules will result in expulsion from the program, and the fees paid for that program will be forfeited.

Registration for 2008 begins January 7, 2008.

A minimum deposit must accompany each application (Hockey—$150, Basketball, Tennis, College/Developmental Volleyball—$75, Little Huskies Volleyball—$50, Figure Skating—$50 or 25% of total if greater). Make checks payable to Michigan Tech. There will be a $20 fee for all returned checks. All participants must complete the health history form prior to attending camp, and it is recommended that each participant provide the Summer Athletic Program with a copy of a current physical. Participants without a completed health history form will not be able to participate in camp.

To secure a spot in Basketball Team Camp, teams must turn in all applications together. Application and Health History Forms are also available online (see top of page).

Outstanding balances are due June 6, 2008. Registration is not guaranteed until balance is received and verified. No discount for late arrival or early departure. Payments made after June 6, 2008 will be assessed a $25 late fee. There is a convenience fee of $6 for all payments made by phone, mail, fax, or internet. Please allow two to three weeks for processing. We will send a confirmation of your enrollment.

The following conditions apply to all refunds:

Refund checks may not be sent until the conclusion of the Summer Athletic Programs in late August.

The Summer Athletic Programs have on staff certified athletic trainers who provide emergency medical care. Located in the SDC, the Portage Medical Group Clinic (906-483-1860) offers medical services to participants, as well as the public. Please note: basketball coaches and teams are responsible for first-aid supplies such as gauze, tape for ankles, etc.

All participants first register at the SDC, then check in at the residence hall. Below is a list of camp dates and times.

At checkout, Plan A (live-in) participants are to be picked up at the residence hall following the conclusion of camp. All students must turn in their room key and linens. There will be a fee of $50 for lost keys.

Michigan Tech is located in Houghton, in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Upper Michigan. The town and campus are only a few minutes from the scenic shores of Lake Superior.

Combine vacation with your child’s summer athletic program

The air is clean, the water is pure, and recreational opportunities are at hand—boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, and camping. The University owns its eighteen-hole golf course, and a 600-acre recreational forest—ideal for hiking—that adjoins campus near the SDC.
