Anoka-Ramsey Community College continues to show its commitment to the community and to the success of learning through its ninth year of KID U — a summer program with more than 295 courses designed for kids and teens. Courses are held at the Cambridge and Coon Rapids campuses and offer out-of-the-ordinary opportunities to students in a college setting.

“KID U shows students that college is an attainable possibility,” says LeAnn Snidarich, Kid U program director. “One boy who first came to KID U as a nine-year-old would always say, ‘I’ll never go to college.’ He continued to attend KID U for the next four years and he’s made a complete turn around. Now he says, ‘When I go to college …’ That’s so satisfying to see and it’s what this program is all about.”

Programs range from performing and visual arts to science and technology. KID U has assembled an enthusiastic and extremely talented group of instructors who are specialists in their field.

Classes are split into five summer sessions in July: 14-17, 21-24, and 28-31 at the Coon Rapids Campus and August 4 – 11 and August 14 – 17 at the Cambridge Campus. Classes sizes are limited and fill quickly. Registration is going on now through the first day of classes and can be arranged by phone, fax, mail or in-person. Scholarships are available to qualifying students.
