Not soon, you will get to it at the end of your calculus 1 course. Calculus 1 is mostly derivatives, then they introduce you to elementary integration. Calculus 2 will be basically all about techniques of integration (integration turns out to be more complicated than differentiation, and it does not follow simple rules, it demands resourcefulness).
This is a slideshow that briefly discusses what integration is. It is the opposite of differentiation, it is a special kind of sum where we change the labels from a summation sign to that integral sign. Make sure to view it on full screen to see the animations: http://www.itcanbeshown.com/For_Students… , the animations should help you understand what it is. There will be some language in there that will probably not be understandable, as it is a slideshow meant for a review, but just try and take from it what integration is as a concept.

In Calc 1 usually integration comes as a final topic. Integration will involve finding antiderivatives, like derivatives but in reverse in a sense.
