Attention area kids and parents! Registration for the 2011 Kid’s College at UACCM is now open. This year, Kid’s College will take the imaginations of area first through third graders to the top of the world by guiding them on an amazing “Polar Expedition” to explore the sights and sounds of the Arctic Circle. Participants will also climb aboard the “Space Ship Discovery” and blast off to the furthest reaches of outer space. The fun-filled week is scheduled for July 11 through 14, 2011. 

During Kid’s College, students will attend class each day from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Business Technology Center on the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton’s campus.
