About The LYNX Camps

The LYNX National Arts and Media Camps are summer immersion programs for high school students interested in music and the arts hosted on the University of Colorado Denver campus and sponsored by the CU Denver College of Arts & Media. We offer both residential and non-residential camp programs. The camps are designed to provide students with an educational preview of the college programs offered in the College of Arts & Media while also providing students with an inspiring and memorable summer camp experience. We host high school students from many different states and countries at the camps which enables a diverse and enriching experience as students bond over a shared passion for the arts.​
