LEESBURG - A younger group of students will be taking classes on Lake-Sumter Community College campuses this summer when the college hosts several camps designed for children between 6 to 12 years of age, and older if youre a young musician.

LSCCs Kids College adds The Villages, to its Leesburg and South Lake Campus sites this year, and will offer the many fun and educational courses that have made the annual camp so popular. Classes are designed for students who will be entering the 2nd through 7th grades (ages 7 to 12) and will offer a selection to fit any interest...theater, crafts, sports, science, computers, magic and much more. Children can enroll for full day, 9 am until 4 pm, or half- day sessions, 9 am until 12:15 pm or 12:45 until 4 pm. Kids bring their own lunches to the full day camps. Late care is available from 4 until 5:15 pm. Two-week camps will be held on the Leesburg Campus on June 2 through 12, and again on June 16 through 26; and on the South Lake Campus, June 30 through July 10, and again on July 14 through 24.
