SPRINGFIELD — College for Kids at Lincoln Land Community College will offer more than 60 programs this summer from June 10-July 25 thanks to new and continuing partnerships. Most programs will be held at the Springfield campus, 5250 Shepherd Rd.

New this year are theater camps for grades 1-8. There are three camps — Introduction to Theater, Auditioning for Theater and Introduction to Production, which includes backstage elements like set and costume design. 

Girls in Construction, a career exploration camp (grades 9-12), is a partnership with O’Shea Builders and the YMCA. It will include meeting women in the construction industry, tool safety and hands-on building experience with a project at the YMCA soccer fields. Additional career exploration camps will feature electrical circuitry, construction and health care careers. 

College for Kids (grades 1-8) also has camps covering a variety of interests, including art, yoga, culinary, science, space exploration, LEGO®, archaeology, journalism and web design.

Space for camps is limited; early registration is recommended. Dates, times, grade-level categories and registration can be found at LLCC Community Education or by calling 217-786-2432.
