DE QUEEN – Tammy Coleman, Continuing Education Coordinator at Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas, has announced that registration for the eighth annual Kids’ College began Monday, June 9th, and continues through June 27th at all three CCCUA locations.
&nbssp; She noted that Salvation Army scholarships are available for those who qualify. Call 800-844-4471 for more details.
“We’ve had a good response to our day camp format,” Coleman said, “De Queen is almost full and registration continues to build at Nashville and Ashdown.” Registration is first-come, first-served, limited to children ages 8 to 12, and each camp has a maximum enrollment of 20 children 8-10 years of age, and 20 children 11-12 years of age. Tuition is $45 per camp.
Kids’ College classes will be held the week of July 7-11 from 8AM to noon. The De Queen campus will host the “Everything Art” camp, which will enable each child to produce unique and individual works of art while focusing on the creative process and the development of imagination and creativity. The College’s Nashville Extension will host Technology Day Camp, which is designed to increase each participant’s awareness of and interest in technology. The Ashdown Extension’s “In-Touch Science Camp will transform campers into student scientist as they suit-up in their very own lab coat and conduct lab experiments.
Coleman noted that each child will also be honored at a graduation ceremony, in which they will receive a certificate of completion and a free “Making Tracks to Kid’s College” t-shirt as a memento. She added, “We have also designated a drop-off and pick-up location at each of our sites, as a convenience for the parents and added safety for the children.”
Cossatot Community College offers both technical certification and Associate’s degrees in a wide range of fields on its campus at De Queen, at extension sites at Nashville and Ashdown, and at cccua.edu. It has an enrollment of more than 1,000 students, and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Higher Learning.
