Children can go to camp with their Grandparents at Grandparents University at West Chester University

June 24, 2013-June 16, 2013

The Directors of Grandparent University, designed this program with one goal in mind: to create a fun, interactive atmosphere to promote education and communication across different generations of families. Grandparents and their grandchildren come to campus for two days and three nights. You'll stay in your family's own brand new dorm room or suite. You and your grandchildren will take four courses taught by university professors from a variety of disciplines. You'll also tour campus gems like the Fredrick Douglass Institute, the geology museum, the planetarium, a theater, and more. It's a great way to expose children to a university setting while creating memories with their grandparents that will last a lifetime.

All meals are included in the program, and we dine in a university cafeteria. The cafeteria provides multiple selections from soup and salad to a selection of hot and cold food. Everybody will find something they like. For cafeteria food, the kitchen staff get rave reviews!

Check the Courses page for an overview of each class. Grandparents and grandchildren enroll in courses together so they can learn together.

After a full day of classes and activities, with some break time built in, it's time for your evening entertainment. Back by popular demand...we'll again be entertained by the comedians at Comedy on Demand! They are a local Improv Comedy Troupe and had us in stitches last summer. Several grandchildren, and even a grandmother, were pulled on stage to help entertain the audience.
