The classes will run for a week in the middle of July.
A variety of summer youth classes ranging from leatherworking to movie making will be available July 13-17 for children in kindergarten through fifth grade at the National Ranching Heritage Center (NRHC) and International Cultural Center (ICC) on the Texas Tech University campus.
“Classes fill up quickly on a first-come, first-served basis,” said Julie Hodges, NRHC director of educational programs. “Some of the classes are already half full, so parents should register their children as soon as possible on our website.”
Class topics, descriptions and time periods are available online. Registration and tuition payment can be made online for up to four classes from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuition is $25 per class ($20 per class for Junior Rough Riders). To receive a paper registration form and/or pay by check, call (806) 742-0498 or email julie.hodges@ttu.edu.
Although participants can take up to two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon, Western Movie Making and Leatherworking each run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and cost $50.
Morning classes will meet at the NRHC and afternoon classes will meet at the ICC. Students taking classes during both sessions will need to bring a sack lunch and will be escorted by staff to the ICC. Snacks will be provided at mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
