Summer Camps & Academic Enrichment Programs in Oregon, USA
 Anyone
who has gone to Delphi for the summer will tell
you that Delphi is so much more than a summer
camp. It’s an incredibly challenging environment
for anyone who wants to learn, thrive and grow.
And the best part is how much fun you can have
doing just that. You’ll be challenged everyday
with improving your study skills, as well as
your knowledge of math, science, English and
computer technology. At the same time, you’ll be
challenged with a wide range of sports and
outdoor activities, that all take place at one
of the most beautiful places on Earth.
At Delphi, you’ll be exposed to everything from
horseback riding and archery to tennis, drama,
art and music as well as exciting weekend trips,
camping, going to the beach, plenty of hiking
and more. The sole purpose of the Delphi Summer
Program is to challenge young people in and out
of the classroom and help them discover that
their potential for success is unlimited. It is
truly a once in a lifetime experience – one you
can experience every summer thanks to Delphi.

explore new interests. Delphi is one of the only
academic summer camps to give students
