"Campbellsville University's Kids College is an exciting time each summer, for both the students and the adults who are involved in it," Daran Kennon, community education coordinator at Campbellsville University's Virginia Ponser Flanagan Technology Training Center, said.

"We all learn so much from the program and look forward to it each year. All our instructors and helpers love working with kids, seeing them develop in their education and watching them have a fun and blessed time. To see the smiles on each of the children's faces is a blessing to us. We hope each child will take home special memories of the Kids College," Kennon said.

Two classes per session can be selected for the camp for grades second through seventh. Preschool through first grade will rotate through each class.

The classes are as followed:

Sharp Shooting Archery, taught by Chris Buis.

"He is devoted to teaching them about shooting archery in a safe environment," Kennon said.
