This three-week summer camp for teens has be co-hosted by NSI for the last four years. Roughly 60 students participate each summer in July. Following a TEA approved curriculum that takes students through the role of the police, conflict mediation, creating a 20-year plan, drugs and alcohol prevention, human trafficking, college is not the 13th grade, time management, leadership, effective communication, team building, crime prevention, school safety, active shooter, victimization, anti-gang information, safe driving, first aid, criminal and juvenile justice issues and procedures, and fire safety. The student learned business etiquette, conducted a mock trial, rode the METRO, visited Harris County Court House where they met judges and other criminal justice staff. Students are also introduced to UH admissions staff who share information about the university and the admissions process. Through these activities students have stereotypes dispelled about criminal justice professionals while simultaneously developing realistic plans for continuing their education and future career objectives.

Each summer in collaboration with Civic Heart (formerly Change Happens), NSI coordinates a summer camp experience which exposes inner-city youth ages 7 to 18 to campus life and college readiness requirements. Activities consist of entertainment performances by UH student organizations and seminars on admissions and financial aid. Vision board activities are facilitated by UH student leaders. Tours of the campus and residence halls are provided.
