ST. PETERSBURG — St. Petersburg College’s summer program, College for Kids, is back this summer after a successful 2022 session. College for Kids offers a variety of fun, safe and enriching programs over seven weeks for area students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The summer program begins June 5 and runs weekly through July 21 at SPC’s Downtown Center, 244 2nd Ave. N, St. Petersburg.
The program offers weekly themes, including visual arts, robotics, entrepreneurship, career week, music/acting/dance, health and wellness and robotics 2.0. Belinthia Berry, Dean of Workforce Development and Corporate Partnerships, said the program is designed with both learning and enjoyment in mind.
“We created a weekly curriculum that will keep students engaged, unlock their curiosity, and explore subjects in a fun and safe learning environment,” Berry said.
The program begins at 9 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, for only $120 per week, with a one-time $25 registration fee to cover field trips, materials, and a T-shirt for each participating student. Before and aftercare is also offered for $55 per week, beginning at 7:30 a.m. for early drop-off and late pick-up until 5:30 p.m.
Maginda Montero, SPC’s Director of Corporate & Continuing Education, said the aftercare hours allow parents to continue to work a full day.
“We understand parents need that extra time to drop off and pick up their children so that they can continue to provide for their families without the worries and stress of being late for work,” Montero said.
SPC’s College for Kids is excited to partner with The St. Petersburg College Foundation, which has signed on as a supporting sponsor for the program for the second year in a row.
“We believe in the program,” said Theresa McFarland, executive director of Advancement Services at the SPC Foundation. “We are honored to be a supporting sponsor.”
