Registration is open for the 2026 Kids College summer program at Hill College. Kids College offers students entering grades first through eighth a variety of activities designed to spur their interests and foster engagement in focused courses that align with Hill College’s career pathways—Arts & Humanities, Business & Industry, Health & Public Service, and STEM. 

Camps are held at both the Hill and Johnson County Campuses in the month of June and offer students the opportunity to engage with college instructors, area educators, Hill College students, and representatives from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension program and the Texas Through Time Fossil Museum located in Hillsboro, Texas. 

Course selections include American Sign Language, EMS Training, Cyber Kids, Let’s Put on a Show!, Volleyball and Mini-Sports, among others. An Esports course and auto-training course (Under the Hood) are available for students going into the fifth through eighth grades. Please check course locations on the online registration form here: https://myhc.hillcollege.edu/ICS/Kids_College.jnz. 

All Kids College campers can create their own schedule for the week when they register. Camp dates for the Johnson County Campus (JCC) are June 1–4, 2026. The Hill County Campus (HCC) camp will run June 22–25, 2026. Camps are held Monday through Thursday, beginning at 8:15 a.m. and ending at 4:30 p.m. (drop-off starts at 7:50 a.m.; pick-up ends at 5 p.m.). 

Tuition is $120. Lunch is included. 

This year, Kids College is supported by a generous grant—the Youth Career Exploration Event 2026 grant—sponsored by and in partnership with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) on behalf of Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas (WSNCT) and the Jobs Y’all initiative (JY). The grant aims to support preteens and young adults by providing opportunities for them to explore career pathways and connect with local resources to further their education and future careers. 

“The continued support from community and regional partners allows Kids College to expand opportunities for students while encouraging creativity, exploration, and career readiness at an early age,” said Coordinator of Youth Services Program Outreach Specialist and Kids College Camp Director Jocelyn Williams. 

Courses vary by campus; more information can be found on the online registration form. The registration deadline for both camps is May 27, 2026. For a full list of course descriptions and registration information, please visit hillcollege.edu/jobtraining/kidscollege.edu or contact program coordinator Joycelyn Williams at jwilliams1@hillcollege.edu or 254.659.7627.
