Don't just sit around and waste away your precious summer.  Colleges love to see students who use their summers to learn a new skill, rack up academic credits, or pursue the arts.  Plus you will have fun in the process.  The Khabele School offers a wide variety of academic courses, leadership, arts, magic, and acting camps.  We are located in Austin's historic downtown district and feature a campus with beautiful sun-lit spaces close to hip local cafes, restaurants, and shops.
