Ten themed weeks run from June 18 to Aug. 24 for children who have completed kindergarten, up to age 12.

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University students, employees and the general public are invited to enroll children in the 2018 Campus Kids Summer Program offered by the WMU Children's Place Learning Center.

The program will run from June 18 to Aug. 24, and each week will feature a different theme with special-interest topics. It is open to children who have completed kindergarten, up to age 12. Parents may sign children up by the week or for the entire summer. Enrollment is limited, so those interested are urged to register early while space is available.

Participants will learn about music, food and cultures from around the world as well as the arts. They can have the opportunity to become the next Children's Place Idol and more. A full list of all 10 weekly themes is available online at wmich.edu/childcare/programs/campuskids.

Center hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Special childcare arrangements are available before the June 18 summer program start date, and regular learning programs are available for children aged 15 months to 5 years.

Fees include $45 for registration and $207 per child per week or hourly rates for WMU students of $5.65 and for WMU staff and community members of $6.90. Additional fees for field trips may be assessed.
