SALISBURY, N.C. – Rowan-Cabarrus Community College will once again offer engaging, in-person summer enrichment camps for ages 8-18 this summer, with topics ranging from robotics, engineering and welding to sewing, quilting and African drumming.

Each session is designed to excite and inspire campers as they explore subjects of interest, get an idea of what it is like to study on a college campus, and consider possible careers. Camps will be held at the College’s North Campus in Salisbury, South Campus in Concord, and A.L. Brown High School.

“The College’s summer enrichment camps deliver fun and enlightening growth experiences, giving students exposure to new ideas, new friends and, in some cases, career options for the future,” said Dr. Carol S. Spalding, president of Rowan-Cabarrus. “Campers have so much fun that they don’t even realize they are learning important transferable skills and concepts they will use to succeed in life.”

  • Ages 11-18 – Drums 4 Life: African Drum Class, Improv on the Go
