Area children and teens have enjoyed the fun and excitement of several educational and recreational activities at Laredo Community College; but now they have one more reason to spend their summer at LCC.
Kids and Teens College, a three-week summer learning enrichment program, will be in session from July 11-28.
Registration starts soon for parents to reserve a spot for their children in the summer program. For more information, call the LCC Continuing Education Department at 721-5374 or email ce@laredo.edu.
The program is tailored similar to college, allowing kids the chance to create a class schedule to their liking.
The program will consist of courses in math, reading, writing, science, swimming, arts and crafts. All classes will be taught by certified instructors with years of experience. The course fees vary from $35 to $65.
Exciting camps for children and teens also are available this summer, courtesy of the Kinesiology Department, the Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center, the Camilo Prada Child Development Center and the Laredo Children’s Museum.
