Summer Kids@Carroll, a Carroll Community College tradition for kids ages three to 14 that is in its seventh year, will be offered this summer from June 27 through Aug. 12 on the Westminster campus. Registration is currently underway. Many new camps are available through the weekly summer enrichment program, which was voted in 2010 as an honorable mention "Best of Carroll Day Camp" by the Carroll County Times. New camps are offered in all program categories. World View Kids emphasizes the global society in which we live and stresses the importance of awareness of different cultures. Classes include Around the World to Japan; Campamento Piñata; Empires and Aliens: Only You Can Save the World; Fun with Spanish; and Model United Nations. World View Kids helps broaden perspectives and ways of thinking about peoples from other lands and walks of life. Director of Lifelong Learning Sally Long said "Each camp explores a topic in depth. It is important to keep students coming back and pursuing new interests. That is one reason it is important to offer new programs. Each summer, children come back to something new or fresh, even if it is related to a previous experience." Families whose children participate in Summer Kids@Carroll offer positive feedback about the program. "Parents tell us that Summer Kids@Carroll is well-organized in terms of pick-up and drop-off and that all camp logistics are well-run. We are kid-and parent-friendly, so parents can have peace of mind when they leave their children at Carroll Community College," said Long.
