Bergen Community College will hold its BCC College for Kids kids and teens program during the summer of 2021 for students ages 7-18.
Offered through the College’s Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development, the program offers more than 130 in-person and online courses beginning June 28th. Week-long courses in subjects such as STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics), foundational reading and writing skills for middle school students, and opportunities to accelerate studies through new work-for-credit courses or credit recovery offerings for high school students represent only a fraction of the many courses available. The programs follow the core curriculum of NJ Standards for Education; instructors from local high schools teach the courses.
During the summer months, Bergen Community College’s youth-oriented programs offer a chance to learn new things while building friendships.
Elementary and Middle School Students (ages 7-14)
Choose from seven weekly sessions. Full-day sessions run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, half-day sessions run from either 9:00 am-12:00 pm or 1:00 pm-4:00 pm. Enroll for individual weeks or the entire seven weeks. Space is limited so register early.

Bergen Community College will continue to maintain a safe campus environment for attendees, including the mandatory use of face masks for all while on campus. The College’s on-campus protocols, such as the installation of MERV-13 air filters, providing COVID-19 awareness training for students, faculty, and staff as well as limiting on-campus access, prevented any cases of community spread occurring among those who took classes or worked on campus since the start of the pandemic.
