Make Trinity Western University your destination this summer! Whether it's at our Langley campus, or anywhere else in the world - even your own home - TWU courses are available to you.

Summer: time to relax and rest . . . and a time to learn and grow. That's what Summer Sessions at Trinity Western University are all about. Through a mix of courses, retreats and travel studies, you can expand your leadership skills, delve into intriguing subjects and enliven your vocation.

Or join others like Debbie Low, a visiting student who transferred her courses back to the institution where she was completing her degree.

"I chose to study during the summer because of the flexibility of the courses," she says. "I was able to complete two semesters of Spanish in six weeks! The retreat courses were also a great option. Best of all, because the courses were not four months long, I had time left throughout the summer to work, relax and prepare for the coming fall semester."

Whether you want to take a course for university credit, or just because you're interested, our courses are accessible to you.

TWU offers you a variety of learning formats:

Join us at camp August 31 - September 5. You'll earn university credits before the fall semester begins. Choose one of four courses offered, and enjoy learning by the shores of beautiful Lake Okanagan - and building friendships with professors and peers. This camp experience includes skiing, wakeboarding and tubing behind Green Bay's Mastercraft competition boats!
