Parents, It's Not Too Late To Enroll Kids in Summer Camp

Parents, if the time got away from you and you didn’t get the kids enrolled in a summer camp or program, North Central College has you covered. Some of the college’s camps are still open for enrollment.

Whether your child is interested in sports or more technological pursuits, the college offers a variety of programs. According to North Central College, registrations are accepted until the day before a camp begins, and remaining camps continue through July.
