The Kids and College Program will be offering early arrival and late departure options for Summer. Students must register to participate. Early arrival begins at 7:30 a.m. and late departure ends at 5:30 p.m. Students must be picked up by 5:30 p.m.

We offer two convenient ways to register for Kids and College. Limited space is available per class session, and registration closes one week before each class.

Please note: Parents or guardians registering their camper online should create a household profile with the parent or guardian's contact information before adding the student.

The tuition and fees for each class are stated in the class description in the program booklet and online. All tuition must be paid at the time of registration. MCC accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Required supplies are included in the fees unless otherwise indicated in the class description.

The Kids and College schedule of activities is subject to change. Any additional class offerings will be posted to the website.

To cancel a class registration, call the Community Enrichment Center at (815) 455-8758 or email Kids and College. A 100% refund will be issued if the Community Enrichment Center is notified of the cancellation no later than the Thursday before the class start date, or if MCC cancels the class due to insufficient enrollment. No refund will be issued for classes dropped on or after the class start date.

All registered campers should review the Summer 2026 Kids and College Student Guide, which includes information on arrival and departure, camper expectations, health and safety protocols, what to bring, and required forms.

Campers must complete and submit all required camper forms. Forms are due no later than one week before your first class. Failure to submit the forms will result in the cancellation of class registration without refund. Forms must be completed only once for both the spring break and summer programs and must be completed online. The link to the forms is included in the class confirmation and reminder emails.

Certain classes may require additional forms. Campers will be informed by email before the start of the class.

A supervised lunch period from noon to 1 p.m. will be available for students who participate in either an all-day class or two classes on the same day (morning and afternoon). Students who are attending the supervised lunch period are required to bring a healthy, nut-free sack lunch. Refrigeration is not available.
Students may also bring a healthy, nut-free snack for break time. Students will not have access to vending machines during class.
We encourage campers to bring a refillable water bottle each day for lunch and during class.

MCC encourages all individuals to participate in its programs and activities. If you need an accommodation or a sign language interpreter, contact the Access and Disability Services department at (815) 455-8766 or by email.
