College for Kids is a residential summer program where gifted students in grades 3-9 can explore their passions and unlock their full potential.
Our program goes beyond academics, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth.
Nestled on the beautiful campus of Columbia College in Missouri, our students live in comfortable residence halls with caring advisors. They enjoy a vibrant community where friendships blossom and independence flourishes.
Our academic staff prioritizes a well-rounded experience, encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the "living away from home" aspect.
Students reside in climate-controlled dormitories organized into sections accommodating 10 to 14 individuals, each supervised by a Residential Advisor. CK provides telephones for students to contact their families, and our office phone is equipped with voicemail. Personal cell phones are prohibited during camp.
Snacks can be purchased on-site. Any required absences, excluding emergencies, must be documented in writing upon arrival on campus. Please include the reason for the absence, the dates of departure and return, and the name of the individual responsible for transportation.
