College For Kids

Through College for Kids, students are offered programs that are not generally found at their regular school in order to introduce them to career paths and post-secondary education. See what these students have to say about this fun, hands-on program!

College for Kids (C4K) is a summer program at Aims Community College in Northern Colorado that provides a unique, educational and fun experience for students ages 9 to 12, by providing an opportunity to "go to college."

Students participate in classes of their choice and engage in a variety of topics. Program offerings are intended to introduce kids to possible careers and start getting them to think about what opportunities they may want to pursue in the future. All classes are designed to be fun, captivating and hands-on.

Each campus location (Loveland, Windsor, Fort Lupton, and Greeley) hosts one four day session throughout the month of June.
