(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA)—From cooking to cyber security to drone adventures, from digital music production to ROBLOX® Studio to robotics, from arts and crafts to Minecraft® to AI machine learning, and from coding to construction to babysitter training with CPR and first aid certification, there is something to appeal to almost any child or young teen’s interest at Summer Kids Camps at Delaware County Community College’s Marple Campus (901 S. Media Line Road, Media, PA 19063).

Schedules and hours range for the camps but children have the option to stay all day for an additional fee (campers must bring their own lunches). The College has held Summer Kids Camps for more than 18 years and youth programs since 1996. Register online or by calling 610-359-5025.

Unemployed caregivers in Delaware County can apply for up to $1,000 in credits toward a child’s summer camp fees thanks to the Delaware County Council’s approval of the Delco Strong Summer Camp Solution. The program helps reduce barriers experienced by caregivers who are struggling to find work—a situation made more challenging by the summer closure of schools and the difficulty in finding adequate childcare. Applications for Delco Strong grants scholarships can be found at pacareerlinkdelco.org/summer-camp/.

Camp scholarships are also available through the Delaware County Workforce Development Board. The scholarships are designed to enable middle school-age students to develop skills in some of Pennsylvania’s High Priority Occupations. Many of the Summer Kids Camps at DCCC qualify for this scholarship. To find out more about this grant and to apply, contact pscepansky@dccc.edu.
