This summer, encourage your children to explore their interests through the Summer Youth Enrichment Program at Johnson County Community College (JCCC). JCCC offers a variety of affordable, fun, and interactive classes and camps for children ages 5-18.
Summer Youth courses start June 2, 2025, with in-person, on-campus options for children entering grades 4-12. Camp offerings change each week through July 31. Classes are held both morning and afternoon, typically Monday through Thursday, with a supervised lunch period in between. Children can take a full or half-day of classes. Class length depends on the age group.
Something for everyone
