Julie Doyal Coordinator / College for Kids

Every summer, more than 1,800 children ages 3-17 flock to campus for classes in art, technology, science, outdoor education and much, much more (pictured—a Quidditch match, part of a class for fourth, fifth and sixth graders based on the Harry Potter books.) Since 2005, Doyal has coordinated what she calls “disguised learning” where kids have fun yet parents feel confident about the quality of the content. Most are taught by certified teachers. Doyal’s also proud of a junior counselor program she developed in 2010 that gives teachers an extra set of eyes and hands, especially in classes for the youngest children. “I am a former teacher, so that part of working with kids, and working with teachers to deliver quality programming has always been close to my heart,” said Doyal, who retired in 2018. Interested? Classes run each week of summer through Aug. 17. Check out nmc.edu/kids for options and to register. N
