We are looking forward to the return of summer programs in 2026! To inquire about hosting your camp on our campus, please contact Jamie Dailey, Rider’s Assistant Director of Conference Services at conferences@rider.edu.
Rider University hosts more than 50 programs and over 25,000 participants annually. The summer program season at Rider runs mid-May through late August. Rider's location on the I-95 corridor and in both the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas makes our Lawrenceville campus ideal headquarters for international programs, sports camps, leadership seminars, and other short-term and long-term programs.
If you are looking for a camp for your youth to attend at Rider this summer, please see the current list of linked camps below. Please contact individual camps directly for details or availability.
