CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Each year, thousands of children and youth learn, explore and have fun at summer camps and in educational programs provided by the U. of I. Now, a Web page is available for parents, teachers and students who want information about the many programs focused on learning, science, the arts and sports that the U. of I. offers for children ages pre-kindergarten through 18.
The Youth Programming Web site contains contact information for and links to Web pages about workshops, internships, summer camps, after-school music and arts programs, family-adventure trips, contests and other programs. Some of the activities take place on the U. of I. campus; others, such as the Physics Van, travel to the participants’ schools or are held at public libraries or other locations in the community.
“For several years, both campus and non-campus families have wanted a quick way to find information about summer programs, and this Web page helps meet that need,” said Nathaniel Banks, the director of the Campus-Community Interface Initiative in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Public Engagement.
