College for Kids – Summer Offerings

Life on a Farm Camp

This camp offers an exciting opportunity for students to gain insight into the inner workings of small farms. Each day, campers will explore a farm featuring various animals and agriculture to engage in hands-on activities with different farm animals as well as produce, vegetables, and flowers. The daily schedule includes enjoyable experiences that stimulate creativity, foster teamwork, and enhance confidence. Campers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the local farms each day of camp.

Let’s Get Our Hands Dirty!

This camp is designed to create meaningful and memorable experiences that teach scientific creativity. Our activities are hands-on, fun, and engaging. Discover new things daily with our interesting, exciting camp themes, including Saponification (The art of making Soap), Vermicomposting (Composting with worms), Be Naturally Beautiful (Making homemade beauty products), and Healthy soil and gardening. This is a camp you do not want to miss out on!

STEAM Max Camps

STEAM Max Camp allows campers to explore the fields of science, technology, engineering, visual arts, culinary arts, and math through fun, engaging activities. Campers rotate through five sessions each day, creating their own video games, completing engineering challenges using math and science concepts, learning creative tricks in the culinary arts kitchen, coding robots, and using problem-solving skills to tackle real-world challenges. Two weeks to choose between. (Cost includes a T-shirt, snacks, and drinks. Campers must bring lunch and are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle.)

Fishing Camp

Campers will learn fishing fundamentals, such as safe and proper casting techniques, baiting a hook with worms or crickets, and basic knots for tying on hooks and lures. Campers will also learn some universally effective techniques to help them catch fish in just about any local body of water. This is a great camp for anglers who have never fished, or who wish to become self-sufficient on the water.

Jr. Chef Culinary Camp

Calling all young food lovers! Join us for a week of hands-on cooking, baking, and food exploration. Guided by experienced chefs, campers will learn essential kitchen skills, from proper knife techniques to food safety and cleanliness—all while creating delicious dishes from around the world. Each day features a new culinary theme, from crispy American classics to flavorful Asian and Latin-inspired favorites. We'll even harvest fresh ingredients from our culinary garden! No experience needed—just a passion for cooking and a hunger to learn. By the end of the week, your Jr. Chef will have the confidence to recreate their favorite camp dishes at home. Closed-toed shoes and an apron or smock are required. Dietary restrictions will be addressed during registration. Sign up today, and let’s get cooking!

Coding & 3D Printing Bootcamp

Come create with us! Through our 3D Printing, Design, and Coding Bootcamp, we will encourage students to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills. Using Sphero robots, instructors will demonstrate how to program a robot using Sphero Edu. Students will build on this strong foundation and be introduced to Tinkercad, an online design tool through which they can practice their 3D creation skills. After completing their projects, students take home a piece of their own creation.

Drones Camp

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced drone pilot, this camp is tailored for you. Gain a comprehensive knowledge on safely and legally flying drones in order to capture breathtaking footage. Learn drone mechanics, precision operation, FAA regulations, flight planning, altitude control, throttle management, and visual orientation. By the end, you’ll be well-equipped for exciting drone adventures!

Robotics Camp

Delve into robotics with our camp! Learn to design, build, and program robots for diverse tasks. Covering mechanical and electrical components, programming, and control, explore robot types like wheeled, humanoid, and drones and their applications in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and entertainment. By camp’s end, you’ll grasp robotics principles, possess skills for simple robot design and programming, and glimpse the impactful future of robotics in society. Join our robotics camp for an exciting journey into this evolving field!

Advanced Fishing Camp

If your camper is a competent angler seeking to up their skills and catch more fish, this is the camp for you! Campers will learn specialized skills, including tackle selection for targeting local fish, a variety of useful fishing knots, fishing with slip floats, and advanced casting skills such as flipping and pitching baits. We will focus on largemouth bass and bluegill for this camp, though we can focus on other species based on input from campers.
