Testimonials
"It's so fun! I actually learned a lot and it made me more interested in government-related topics. I might consider a government job after college if the right opportunity presented itself. The "Top Secret" t-shirts were great, I wore mine to school."
Participating student
"They key for us was that Regent had developed something so comprehensive. You'd never know it was their first camp- they've been able to do so many things. Kids are capable of grasping these concepts. The more exposure they can receive, the more they'll be prepared to formulate a better understanding of how they can fit in with an occupation."

Regent University's Summer Government Camp
for High School Students
National security & counter-terrorism
July 15-19, 2013
Hello and welcome to the Regent University Government Summer Camp website. By reaching this point in cyberspace, you have opened an exciting door that may lead you to one of your most intriguing summers! Let me tell you how.
Our Government Camp gives you the opportunity to see, sense, and be part of what is normally off limits to civilians. At this invigorating 5-day event you will have access to high-level military, political, and corporate installations and interact with top military, political, academic, and corporate leaders in the national security and counter-terrorism world.
Each morning campers attend dynamic presentations focusing on national security, the intelligence community, terrorism and counter-terrorism, and law enforcement. Camp afternoons are devoted to field trips to high-level military installations, security contractors, and command control centers that provide campers with a "hands-on" experience of the national security and intelligence community. This powerful combination of stimulating presentations and cutting-edge field trips makes our Government Camp a one-of-a-kind summer experience.
So, if you're interested in spending part of your summer as a matter of national security, Regent University's Government Camp is the place for you. Join us for an awesome experience. Check out the rest of the website, and I look forward to seeing you July 15-19, 2013.
