2012 Summer Youth Experience

Get off your Xbox and come do something fun, yet worthwhile this summer! If you’re between the ages of 14-18, check out DATC’s groovy Summer Youth Experience! Choose a session or two to experience job options for your future. The cost is just $10 per session* (2 sessions maximum), and you’ll need to register soon – starting April 1st – because space fills up fast. And if you discover you love what you’re learning, you can continue on tuition free while you’re in high school, or just come during the summer semester.
*No refunds available. Space is limited. Age restrictions apply. Sessions are subject to change.
