What is College for Kids & Teens

College for Kids & Teens (CFK&T) is the perfect way to keep young minds active all summer long. Our courses span from origami to hip-hop dance, leadership skills to Spanish, and everything in between, providing fun, hands-on learning opportunities for kids from grades K5-12. The program consists of one-and two-week classes in Creative Arts, Humanities/Social Sciences, Languages & Cultures, Math & Computers and Science.
