Summerscapes Program Offers Fun Learning for Youth
by COURTNEY BAUGHARD
With all the winter weather we've been
having, are you and the kids ready for
summertime? Summer is an exciting season
for children — no school, warm weather
and extra time to sleep! While summer
is a fun time of year, it often presents a
dilemma for parents who want to provide
fun and educational activities for their kids.
Fayetteville Technical Community College has
the solution, and it's called Summerscapes!
Children ages 8-18 can get involved in fun
classes at FTCC to express their creativity,
discover new talents, create lasting artwork
and dream of a bright future! While kids may
be more interested in the fun classes, parents
may be interested in the academic refresher
courses. These classes are offered to help
students master the grade-level objectives set
by the state of North Carolina and are taught
by highly skilled and motivated teachers
who will provide an environment fostering
individual growth. Whether the interest is art,
photography, reading, cooking or music, Summerscapes has it all! Some examples
of Summerscapes classes include Sculpture, Yoga, Golf, Chef for a Day, Guitar,
Reading and Math Refresher and Multicultural Arts.
Summerscapes 2014 will begin in June (after school ends and to allow year-
round students to participate) and runs through the middle of August. Classes
are listed in the Spring class schedule (available at the link listed below), and
classes beginning later (between July and August) will appear in the Summer class
schedule. Some classes may require that supplies be brought to class; however,
any additional fees for class activities are kept as low as possible. FTCC can offer
these self-supporting courses only during the summer, so take advantage of these
enjoyable, inexpensive learning opportunities
for your children.
Parents should remember to accompany
children into the classroom on the first
day of class to meet the instructor, discuss
supplies and leave a contact number.
Guardians are required to accompany
children to the classroom and pick them up
from the classroom immediately after class
ends. Parents and guardians are welcome
to stay inside the building but not inside the
classrooms, as we want participating children
to have an environment that best promotes
learning. Classrooms are not open until time
for class to start, so children should not be
dropped off early for classes. Parents who
have children participating in cooking classes
should inform the instructor if the child has
any food allergies. When registering children
for class, parents should complete a contact
form and leave with the registration clerk or
bring to class on the first day.
Join us for Summerscapes 2014 as we learn, create and explore together!
Because classes fill quickly, FTCC requires pre-registration. To learn more about
Summerscapes or how to register, please call us at (910) 678-
8243/8309 or e-mail baugharc@faytechcc.edu. For a complete
