Kids’ College begins at CC next Monday

Kids’ College classes at Clarendon College will get underway next Monday.

There will be more than 20 classes offered in the month of June for kids age 5-15.

“We have a wide variety of classes for kids this summer, and we’ve set things up so that even kids who go on vacation can still hopefully attend a portion of the offerings,” CC Marketing Coordinator Ashlee Estlack said. “We love offering Kids’ College as a way for kids to learn in a fun environment right here at home.”

This year’s courses feature popular returners from last year including Let’s Have a Tea Party, Take Home a Pet Tornado, Erupt a Volcano, and Make an Ocean in a Bottle.  New to this year’s schedule are Telling Tall Tales, Creative Writing, Fabric Crafts, Hand Sewing, Rooms Crafts and Jewelry Making, Fun with Fossils, and Jelly Making.

“Another class we are excited to offer is Basics in Babysitting,” Estlack said. “This course is taught by the American Red Cross and is graciously underwritten by the City of Clarendon in order to make it affordable for the students.  The class is for anyone ages 11 to 15 and features training in first aid and home safety and is perfect for anyone interested in babysitting neighbors or relatives.”

Students can be registered up until 3:00 p.m. the day before any class starts.  The first classes start Monday, June 4, and classes will continue until Friday, June 29.
