A free shuttle service to the Leesburg Campus Kids College is provided free of charge for Sumter County students, between the ages of 7 to 12 years (entering the 2nd through 7th grades). Children have the opportunity to choose from 46 fun and educational classes such as: dance, crafts, sports, science, computers, magic and much more.
