CCC canceling summer Kids' College program

CLOVIS — Despite early optimism it would go on as scheduled, Clovis Community College has decided to cancel its summer Kids’ College program.

A statement from Al Potthoff, organizer of the program, expressed regret in disappointing all of the families looking forward to the program.

While Potthoff said he was optimistic right up until Monday afternoon, it was determined good-faith planning couldn’t take place with so many unknowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The program exists, according to its website, to provide enjoyment and recreation while providing a positive introduction to the CCC campus for children and their families. Past sessions of Kids College have featured classes in sports and fitness, creative arts and culture.
