Kids of all ages are enjoying learning this summer at STC two-week Kid’s and Teen’s Camp, an academic camp for kids from first through twelfth grade. The college is offering the camp at three locations across the Valley including the Starr County Campus in Rio Grande City, the Technology Center in McAllen and the Mid-Valley Campus in Weslaco.

“We really want to challenge students to use their cognitive thinking skills,” said David Perez, Project Training Specialist for the STC Partnership for Workforce Training & Continuing Education. “This is a great opportunity for kids to learn in a fun, stress-free environment. We don’t grade the students. We focus more on working with them to master specific skills or subject areas. It’s not all instruction. We provide a variety of hands-on activities that keep the kids interested and involved.”

Class titles include “Living in Space,” “Art Exploration,” “Stars, Planets and Satellites,” “Scholarship & Grants,” “PowerPoint with Pizzazz” and “Algebra Madness.” This is just a small section of the specialized classes that have been specifically designed for the camp. Every class is targeted at specific age groups.

Students are allowed to take up to four classes during the camp and they will have a class in each of those courses every day of the camp. Each class costs $90. This fee includes the cost of the course, supplies/materials used in each class, and a t-shirt for each student.

Each class is two-hours long with sessions beginning each day at 8 a.m. and will take place through out the day until 5 p.m. with a lunch break from 12-1 p.m. Lunch is not provided.
