What an exciting summer opportunity for children in Polk County through Polk State College!
This summer, they are proud to offer our Kids at College program, which provides engaging, hands-on classes for students ages 5–13. It is a wonderful opportunity for young learners to explore new interests, build skills, and experience a college environment in a fun and supportive setting.
