Summer Kids Camps at DCCC Cover Many Interests, with Scholarships Available
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA - April 23, 2024)—From cooking to construction to coding, from Minecraft® to machine learning, from arts and crafts to artificial intelligence, as well as babysitter training with CPR and first aid certification, there is something to appeal to almost any child or young teen’s interest at Summer Kids Camps at Delaware County Community College.
This year, the College offers Summer Kids Camps in a wealth of areas. Age requirements for camps vary, but there are options for ages six to 14. New this year are combined, immersive two-week math and reading camps designed to improve reading and math skills and increase proficiency in both, with offerings in four different age groups: six and seven, eight and nine, 10 and 11 and 12 and 13.
Unemployed caregivers in Delaware County can apply for up to $1,000 in credits toward a child’s summer camp fees thanks to the Delaware County Council’s approval of the Delco Strong Summer Camp Solution. The program helps reduce barriers experienced by caregivers who are struggling to find work—a situation made more challenging by the summer closure of schools and the difficulty in finding adequate childcare. Applications for Delco Strong grants scholarships can be found at pacareerlinkdelco.org/summer-camp/.
For the first time this year, scholarships are also available through the Delaware County Workforce Development Board. The scholarships are designed to enable middle school age students to develop skills in some of Pennsylvania’s High Priority Occupations. Many of the Summer Kids Camps at DCCC qualify for this scholarship. To find out more about this grant and to apply, contact pscepansky@dccc.edu.
The College has held Summer Kids Camps for more than 17 years and youth programs since 1996. Register online or by calling
