About Summer Programs
Hendrix has a rich tradition of providing unique and engaging summer programs for students. Programs are offered on
our beautiful
campus in Conway, conveniently located in Central Arkansas. Beyond
the enrichment in the classroom, you’ll find that the campus offers everything from comfortable residence halls and
an award-winning
dining hall to stunning recreational facilities and much more.
Best of all, the Hendrix community is made up of dedicated educators and staff who care about students and want to
welcome you to campus.
At Hendrix, we are committed to providing summer experiences that are not your typical summer camps. Summers spent at
Hendrix involve the exploration of personal interests and passions, the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, and
growth through a combination of hands-on instruction and creative experiences. All of this is done in a safe and
inclusive environment where all perspectives and ideas are welcomed.
