Summer Programs
Our unique and exciting summer program offers school age students fun and enriching experiences. The children keep learning and preparing for the next school year in ways that are hands-on and child-friendly. Our program uses weekly themes and exciting field trips to frame learning. Twice weekly pool trips and weekly trips to the library in addition to the 'big adventure' of each week keep children enjoying their summer.
Programs are open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack are served. Children can bring their own sack lunch or purchase a hot lunch on location. We open the week after Sioux Falls schools dismiss for the summer and continue through the summer until school begins again in the fall. Each day is exciting and each week offers a new adventure.
