June marks the beginning of summer vacation and to help fight summertime boredom and boost your children’s learning experiences, Trident Technical College is offering exclusive summer camps for kids and teens.
These innovative summer camp programs are specifically designed to help children expand their interests, boost creativity, help them make new friends and learn essential life skills.
Short one-week programs allow children to explore different classes throughout the summer, which means they meet more children their age, while also further expanding their learning opportunities.
Unlike many traditional summer camps, STEM programs offer children and teens the opportunity to learn about computer technology, math, science, creative arts and culinary arts. Additionally, summer camp topics range from designing comic books, filmmaking and video games to learning more about the U.S. legal system. The college also offers some year-round classes for both children and teens, helping to foster their imagination, creativity and talent.
