Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) will host Pathfinder Academy this summer for rising sixth through tenth grade students.
Held June 9-13, the week will feature fun-filled, hands-on learning activities in the fields of science, technology, cooking and crafts.
“Pathfinder Academy, formerly known as Kids College, will focus on exciting and engaging educational experiences for middle and high school-aged students,” said ECTC Director of Advanced Manufacturing Accelerator Project and Pathfinder Academy Coordinator Eileen Worthington. “The wide variety of interactive classes mean that there is something for everyone.”
Pathfinder Academy offers classes such as Culinary Arts, Computer Aided Drafting and Design, Robotics and Beginning Sewing, taught by ECTC faculty and staff members. Campers will also participate in financial literacy workshops presented by camp sponsor Abound Credit Union.
“As the leading Credit Union in Financial Education in Kentucky, instilling financial literacy in our younger generations is a core mission for Abound Credit Union,” said Jake Darabos, Abound’s Chief Finance and Administration Officer. “As we continue to pave the way for opportunities – the Pathfinder Academy is an incredible opportunity to make a memorable difference for Kentucky students.”
Class sections are divided by age. Advanced registration is required, and spaces are first-come, first-served. For more information, visit ectc.us/pathfinder-academy or contact Eileen Worthington eileen.worthington@kctcs.edu or at 270-706-8712.
