From the minute your child arrives at our Summer program, our staff engages in activities that keep both their mind and body active. A variety of activities, field trips, and special events keep the program fresh and exciting throughout the summer months. While our days are full, we also include downtime to give kids a chance to recharge and socialize.
Kids like consistency, and they thrive on structure. We follow a weekly schedule with a variety of daily activities – Interest Centers, Group Energizers, Mindful Minutes, Project-Based Learning Tracks, Heart Challenges, and Enrichment Clubs. Our schedule varies daily, in order to include fun outings and celebrations. Throughout the week, you can have peace of mind that your child is eating healthy food – breakfast, lunch and snacks – through the Summer Food Program.
We gather together each morning, to start the day with fun and positivity. Our Group Energizer activities help kids get to know each other, often building friendships that last beyond the summer and for years to come. Plus, we’ll work on skills for our Project-Based Learning Tracks later in the day.
FKO turns summer into a season of nourishment and fun! As part of the summer program, FKO offers a free nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack to keep young minds fueled and bodies energized. Children enjoy delicious meals and snacks prepared with care, ensuring they have the sustenance they need to thrive during their summer adventures. With FKO, every mealtime becomes an opportunity for growth and enjoyment, making summers not just memorable, but also healthy and fulfilling.
Life can be stressful – school, friends, growing up. We want our kids to have the coping strategies they need to handle life’s ups and downs, and to offer others compassion and kindness. Each day, we spend a few minutes teaching and practicing mindfulness techniques. Whenever a child is stressed or overwhelmed, we help them practice mindfulness in the moment. Our Heart Challenges teach lessons in compassion, kindness, and community-building, so that kids can become the best versions of themselves.
Throughout the summer, kids have the space and time to learn new skills from community experts, such as theatre, entrepreneurship, art, and sports. By self-selecting classes each week in their areas of interest, kids explore interests, and possibly find their new passion, hobby, or even future career. If the weather is nice, you will find us outside – we try to get as much fresh air and sunshine as we can.
Launching a sports franchise for the project-based learning track? We’ll visit local sports venues to see first-hand how they operate, or head to a clothing distributor to see how uniforms are made! You can also find the whole group venturing out for field trips throughout the week – the beach, a museum, parks, and many other fun places to explore.
Sign your child up for a summer of fun field trips, creative exploration, a nurturing environment, and guidance on making healthy choices. We can walk you through sign-up and funding options available to your family.
