Frequently Asked Questions
Who can attend?
Campers who have successfully completed kindergarten through fifth grade are eligible for K-5 camp. All students must have appropriate independent work skills and behavior for academic activity within a loosely structured learning environment.
Does my child pick one class to attend all day?
No. In the K-5 camp, each site will publish a schedule outlining the weekly/daily activities. Weekly schedules are posted online for each program. Campers are grouped by grade and age level and switch classes throughout the day.
Will the topics vary from one week to the next?
New topics may be introduced or a repeated topic may be taught but with the introduction of new materials. This way, children who attend every week will stay challenged and interested, and children who miss weeks will not fall behind.
Who cares for my child?
College for Kids uses credentialed teachers and also caring professionals who have been screened and evaluated to assist teachers during the day.
