NMC College for KIds 2024Registration is now open for NMC’s College for Kids summer program, which engages students aged 3-17 in fun, experiential learning. Weekly classes run from June 17 through August 2. Special, one-day-only classes are also available. Browse the digital catalog and register now at nmc.edu/kids.

Held at either NMC’s main campus or one of several offsite partner facilities, classes are taught by passionate, experienced instructors that provide a safe and exciting learning environment. Developing their own curriculum, teachers make each class unique, of high interest to students, and experiential with hands-on engagement. Young learners are introduced to adventures in art, science, sewing, technology, theater, culinary, dance, and more.

Classes range from Becoming a Dragon through Kid’s Quilt Camp to the annual GRASP Math & Reading summer bridge program. From outdoor recreation like Stand Up Paddleboarding to art classes like Wheel and Hand-built Pottery, to cooking, robotics, Bucket Drumming and much more—there is something for every learner.

New and returning partnerships such as Drama Kids International, Quarkmine, Grass River Natural Area, and Inland Seas offer specialized classes: Acting Up, VEX IQ Robotics, Shelter Building, Beaches and Streams, and more.

Regular weekly classes start at $149. Thanks to generous donors and a partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan, partial financial assistance for classes is available for those who qualify.
