Mini University

want to try life at UVic?

Come stay with us for a week this summer and experience all of the possibilities that university offers!

The Indigenous Student Mini-University Summer Camp gives Indigenous students in Grades 8 to 11 a taste of university life—you’ll try out academic, physical, creative, cultural, and social activities. It’s a great way to learn about the benefits of a post-secondary education and to envision your options for the future.
