Ohio University Chillicothe, in partnership with the Chillicothe City Schools and Ross-Pike Education Service District, will once again be hosting the Kids in College (KIC) summer enrichment program in Chillicothe beginning June 10th and ending June 28th, 2019.
-
The program, which has been in existence for more than 30 years, is intended to offer myriad classes in the subjects of science, history, theater and more for children in kindergarten through 8th grade in the area.
-
KIC is three weeks long and takes places in a different location each week including some area downtown businesses, the YMCA, Chillicothe Middle School, and the Chillicothe campus.
-
This year’s schedule is as follows: Week 1 held June 10-14; Week 2 held June 17-21; and Week 3 held June 24-28.
-
Each year, KIC adds new courses to meet the demands of the student population and also as a response to surveys which seek feedback on course content that students and parents are interested in.
-
This year, new classes include: the Muddy Fingers Gardening Club sponsored by the Mighty Children’s Museum, Crossfit for Kids, and STEM activities at Kenworth using LEAN Manufacturing principles; while old favorites such as Summer Time Snacks at Nellie Dog, communiSCOPES, Gym and Swim, Super Sticky Science, and Archeology for Kids are also on the schedule.
-
Students can take up to two classes per week. Each class is held for one week either in the morning or afternoon and it’s encouraged to enroll early to ensure minimum enrollment is met or classes aren’t already filled up.
-
The cost for KIC is $45 for the first class and $35 for each additional class. Some courses have additional supplies fees, which are listed in the registration packet. A Kids in College tee shirt is also included with the registration fee.
-
The deadline to register for KIC 2019 is May 31, 2019 at 4 p.m. Interested parties can register by mail or walk in at the Chillicothe campus. Online registration can be found HERE. Registration booklets with course information are available HERE.
