Kids Clubs & Club Ones

Kids Clubs are an important part of our program.  These specialty classes, taught by staff, are offered to the children on Wednesdays, usually lasting four weeks in duration.  These skill-building classes are a chance to mix ages, learn new things, and have fun!  Children select from a wide range of choices and activities are based on staff interest, expertise, and the children’s interests.  Activities have included cooking, sports, ceramics, games, science, woodworking, art, and drama. 
​On Fridays and full day programming we often have Club Ones, staff present club choices and children informally raise their hands to sign up for a one-day club.
