Just in time for summer, Central Oregon Community College (COCC) has received a $247,819 award from the Oregon Association of Education Service Districts to support a range of free and low-cost summer programs, symposiums, camps, and credit-based coursework for regional K-12 students. Hundreds of middle and high school youths across Central Oregon will benefit from the considerable grant.
$120,425 was specifically allocated to youth camp programming for middle schoolers, with entirely free programming offered at Madras and Prineville campuses.
COCC’s Youth Camps, June 21 to August 25, are a series of summer day camps held at the college’s Bend, Redmond, Madras, and Prineville campuses, with sessions in drone technology, junior police academy, writing and culinary, among other topics. All camps offered on the Madras and Prineville campuses are free to attend and can accommodate up to twenty campers each. Grant dollars will also expand the programs’ capacity and pay for instructors and new equipment.
Camps will fill fast. View all COCC Youth Camps and register today.
