The popular Kids in College program will again offer area youth the opportunity to combine fun and education while pursuing their hobbies and interests. New features have been added this year including the offering of some evening classes, classes for parents while their children attend Kids in College, and instruction in tennis, swimming and babysitting.
Most offerings are designed for students who have completed grades kindergarten through the sixth grade with some class ranges going up to 8th grade. The babysitting course is designed for students in the eighth and ninth grades. For more than 20 years, the popular program has offered enrichment learning opportunities for youngsters.
“The Kids in College program offers an opportunity for students to become involved in summer enrichment activities in a safe, vibrant learning environment. The students have fun and learn at the same time,” OU-C Dean Richard Bebee said, “This is an outstanding outreach initiative that continues the campus’ commitment to being an engaged member of the community.”
June Allred-Smith of the Ross County Educational Service District coordinates the instruction and classes.
Flyers are being distributed to all schools in the Ross County and Chillicothe City school systems. They are also available at the Ross County Schools Office and the OU-C reception desk. For more information or to register, contact Janet Fink or Joyce Atwood at (740) 774-7226.
Registration is $30 for the first week and $27 for the second week and the third week plus any material and lunch fees for each weeklong, half-day session.
