History
Culver Summer Schools & Camps, founded in 1902, is operated by Culver Academies, which also includes Culver Military Academy and Culver Girls Academy - independent college-preparatory boarding schools that were founded in 1894 and 1971, respectively. In 1932, the family of founder Henry Harrison Culver transferred ownership of Culver Military Academy to The Culver Educational Foundation. This gift was one of the most generous in the history of education.
