Youth Adventure Program

Mark your calendars—we’re 50 days away from the first "Howdy" of the summer! 🤠✨

Session A starts on June 28th, and we can’t wait to welcome the first wave of campers to Aggieland. Every spot is filled, the labs are ready, and the countdown is ON.

Comment if you’re joining us for Week 1! ❤️👍

We know Aggieland is the destination, but where is the starting line? 📍✈️

We’re looking at the map and seeing campers coming from all over! We want to know how far the YAP Class of 2026 is traveling.

Drop your City/State (or Country!) in the comments below! Let's see who is traveling the furthest to join us this June. 👇

Okay, veterans, help us out!

What is the ONE thing you brought to YAP that you couldn't live without?

👟 Extra comfortable walking shoes?
🔌 A long charging cord for the dorm?
🧥 A hoodie for the "arctic" lab AC?

Tell us your #1 packing essential below! Your advice might save a first-year camper’s life. 😂👇

Representing YAP at the highest level! 🎤📸

Dr. Woodward spent the day at the Chancellor’s Symposium for Innovation and Impact, highlighting the vital role that education outreach plays in the Aggie experience. Innovation isn't just about what happens in the lab—it’s about inspiring the next generation to get there in the first place.

We’re proud to see our Director leading the conversation on how we build the future of Texas A&M. 👍✨

Soft launch of our newest counselors 💅

We brought together senior staff and our newest counselors to connect, and what better way than over pizookies!

Summer 2026, we’re ready for ya!

Calling all YAP Alums! 🎒🎓

Remember your first day in the dorms? The "What if I don't know anyone?" nerves? We want to hear from the veterans.

COMMENT BELOW: What is one piece of advice you’d give to a first-time camper heading to Aggieland this summer? Let’s hear it! 👇

In this lab, we don't just watch chemistry happen—we force it. 🔨💥

Smash Chemistry is a deep dive into particle collision. You’ll gain hands-on experience with mechanical mills and advanced microscopes to see what happens when molecules are dramatically crushed together.

It’s efficient, it’s intense, and it’s a side of science most people never see.

Join us for Session C (July 19-24). Registration link in comments! 🎒✨

Once a YAP Counselor, always a YAP Counselor. 🎒✨

We’re looking for our alumni staff! From the late-night dorm meetings to competing for the coveted garden tools during Wacky Olympics, what was your favorite part of the job?

Whether you were a counselor ten years ago or just last summer, we want to hear from you! Drop your favorite YAP memory in the comments. 👇

No matter how you write it, it always spells out the best week of the summer!
