Words parents
don’t have to hear from their children this summer include, “I’m
bored,” or “There’s nothing to do.” Sacramento State
has a wide variety of activities to put an end to the whining.
If your child's idea of
summer fun is hiking, kayaking, building a Mars Rover, or perfecting the curveball,
the University has a summer program to fit his or her needs.
Sacramento State's

17, including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, waterskiing and white
