Youth Enrichment

Hands-on fun for elementary and middle school students. Our Academic Enrichment Program features classes that improve academic and language skills, develop an appreciation for art and drama, and provide opportunities to explore technology. 

These courses offer a unique opportunity to boost interest and understanding in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) topics in exciting ways that complement a child's learning. Active and engaging experiences foster a student's natural curiosity and stimulate learning and problem-solving.

COD Youth Academy is fun and engaging, with the instructional quality and academic standards you expect from College of DuPage.

2025 Summer Enrichment Courses

Youth Academy offers engaging enrichment classes for grades 1 to 8 at the Glen Ellyn campus and Naperville Center.

Classes are offered over nine weeks during the summer, beginning with week 1 on June 2 and ending with Week 9 on August 1.

Lunch Supervision

If your child is attending a morning and an afternoon class, you must enroll them in Supervision in order for them to remain on campus between classes. Please see the course code for “supervision” listed each week. The fee listed for each week covers lunch supervision and before and after supervision for each day the enrolled camp meets that week.

Before and After Supervision

Before Supervision begins at 7 a.m. at the Glen Ellyn campus (7:30 a.m. at the Naperville Center) and
ends when morning programs begin. After Supervision begins when camps or afternoon courses conclude. All
students must be signed out by 6 p.m.

Students not enrolled in Supervision may be dropped off up to 10 minutes before the start of class and must be picked up within 10 minutes of the end of class.
