Summer Lab 2023

Registration is Now Open

Summer Lab enrollment is open to all rising Nursery 3–grade 8 students who will be in the Chicago metropolitan region this summer.

At Lab, we know that learning is a year-round experience, which can, and should, take many forms. Summer Lab builds on over 70 years of summer programming at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, bringing together the resources and faculty of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools with exciting programs offered by experts from across the city. All of this takes place in and around an unparalleled university setting that enriches our summer fun in incomparable ways.

In an environment that focuses on kids, Summer Lab students and campers make new friends, learn new skills, connect, play, make art, explore the environment, perform, and much, much more. The programs are fun and like everything at Lab, they are designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence in each child. 
 
At Summer Lab, the love of learning never goes on vacation.
