Towson University’s Outreach Blog

Imagine being a child stepping onto a college campus for your first time. Everything, from the buildings to the people, is taller than you, and you catch yourself feeling as though you’re in a world that’s bigger than yourself.

When I was in grade school, my class took a field trip to see a play at a college campus. I remember being awe struck by the environment, but most of all, I remember how much I greatly admired the college students who took the time to speak to us after their performance. That day was the first time I knew I wanted to go to college.

Towson University fosters that same positive experience by offering “KidsCampus”, a chance for young students to learn while experiencing the higher education environment. Highlights of “KidsCampus” include:

• Dance Classes are offered throughout the year, and are taught by Towson University’s nationally recognized Dance Faculty

• The Community Art Center offers a variety of art classes to appeal to all ages and interests

• Doc’s Junior Tigers Club is a fun and interactive all-sports group for young Towson Tiger fans. It offers kids the opportunity to attend TU Athletic events as well as meet Tiger student athletes

• Planetarium Programs allow children to learn about outer space in an interactive and engaging setting

• TU’s Tigerfish Aquatic Club allows children to learn swimming in a fun and safe environment

With such great learning opportunities, it is clear that the word “University” implies learning for all ages.
