College of the Canyon’s 2019 Summer Institute enrollment is now open for students entering sixth through eighth grade, officials said Thursday.

Registration is now open for the summer career exploration institute held at College of the Canyons, with weekly sessions running July 8-12 and July 15-19, according to officials.

The goal of the Summer Institute is to provide hands-on career exploration and learning opportunities to students in a variety of areas and subjects, including robotics, sports medicine, photography, architecture, computer app design, auto technology, biotechnology, construction, makerspace and manufacturing.

All Summer Institute instructors are COC professors or industry professionals that have tailored their curriculum for grades 6-8 in mind, according to officials.

Each path allows participating students to discover a multitude of career possibilities through a unique blend of innovative lesson plans and hands-on activities that are scheduled each week, officials said.

The 2019 Summer Institute lineup is scheduled to feature three new camps focused on the areas of construction technology, computer apps and makerspace, according to officials.

“The COC Summer Institute is much more than your typical summer camp,” said Mark Carr, Summer Institute coordinator. “It’s an opportunity for your child to discover a potential career path, and have some fun at the same time.”

All 2019 COC Summer Institute sessions begin at 9 a.m. and last until 3 p.m.

The 2019 Summer Institute weekly schedule of classes is as follows:

From July 8-12: Biotechnology, robotics, photography, architecture, sun, wind and fire, makerspace STEM stars and computer apps.

From July 15-19: Biotechnology, robotics, photography, sun, wind and fire, sports medicine, architecture and construction technology.

Enrollment fees are $275 per child per week.
