In summer 2023, the LLCC College for Kids program will be getting an update! Taught by experienced educators, and with staff support, many camps for younger students are STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and utilize LLCC’s vast resources and teaching options. These camps cleverly disguise academic enrichment as fun. LEGO workshops, storytelling, engineering and film making are all possibilities for this summer.
High school students will choose from career exploration camps where they sample careers before committing to a course of study. Most of these sessions will be taught in lab classrooms, just like the regular college classes by LLCC instructors. Camps are the perfect way for teens to test-drive a career before they commit.
Camps start the week of June 12 and run through the end of July, with no camps during the week of July 4. Camps are one-week long, Monday-Thursday, either morning or afternoon.
Program ideas from around the state include manufacturing camp, scrubs academy, coding camp, criminal justice, GLoW (Girls Learning Welding), robo camp, scratch programming, auto technology, culinary, digital photography, GLAD, Java, Python, architecture, carpentry, college outdoors, summer strings, Procreate, citizen science, ag in the classroom, drones, entrepreneurship and digital music labs.
Questions? Amazing idea? Know someone who would be perfect? Let us help you create a great summer program. Contact Becky Newton, director, community education becky.newton@llcc.edu or 217-786-2430.
