Lauren Bahnsen was only seven years old when she had her first exposure to Carroll Community College. She participated in Summer!Kids@Carroll and as she grew, she became a camp volunteer, a program assistant and is now a 17-year- old concurrent student at the college.

“Carroll Community College provided me with a stable foundation for my learning when I was seven and now provides me with an excellent higher education,” she said. “I chose to take credit courses at Carroll because of my experiences as a child. The Summer!Kids program showed me what Carroll has to offer.”

“The faculty and staff at Carroll are dedicated to each individual student,” she said. “Instructors stay after class to help students. Instructors are very supportive and understanding. Student Life staff members do an amazing job in providing students with different, exciting activities. The college environment is very welcoming.”

Bahnsen, after completing her concurrent studies and graduating from high school, plans to study electrical engineering at a four-year university. She is currently visiting colleges to prepare for the next step in her college adventure.

Registration for this year’s Summer!Kids@Carroll and Teen College is now open for camps held from June 26 through Aug. 18, 2017. For a complete listing of the 150 new and returning camps go to carrollcc.edu/summerkids or call 410-386-8100.
