BUTLER TWP — This week on Butler County Community College’s campus, students played competitive sports, learned to sew, made their own slime and played mermaid and pirate games.

These sessions are not for any degree offered by the college, but for summer enrichment activity for children in kindergarten through eighth grade.

BC3’s Kids on Campus program offers one-week-long summer day camp sessions over six weeks that tackle a range of activities children can choose from. Eva Lowerre, the Kids on Campus coordinator, said parents often sign up their children for several weeks of activity.
