A four-page pull-out section for the Summer 2008 Niagara Kids College is also included. Now in its second year, the popular Niagara Kids College offers a wide range of summer programs and events for children aged 6 to 17. Highlights include Beauty Boot Camp for Teens and ‘Tweens, Junior Sailing School, Junior Golf Academy, a Tall Ship Pirate Cruise and many more.
