STUDENT SPOTLIGHT:
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF FUN!
Ryan and Hunter Rademaker, father and son, CFK Alumni
As a former CFK student, Ryan Rademaker knew that College for Kids would be a good fit
for his son, Hunter. “CFK is a well-rounded education program that offers many different
topics for young people to try and figure out what their likes and dislikes might be,” Ryan
says. “CFK [is] a good chance for Hunter to explore other areas that he’s interested in…in a
relatively short time frame, but long enough to allow him to better understand these areas.”
Ryan remembers watching planet and star displays in the Planetarium, but Hunter is look-
ing forward to Engineering with Legos.
