West Valley College's Summer College for Kids program has been holding a summer camp for kids in the sixth through ninth grade for nearly 20 years as of 2010. Kids are allowed to select their classes, move from class to class on their own and get the real-life feeling of living within a college environment. There are art classes, ranging from painting to fashion; language and drama classes, ranging from creative writing to theater; business classes, with a young entrepreneurs program; and even science classes, with a series of CSI classes for kids. This is a great way to get your kids excited for college at a very young age and have them learn something in that time.
