Children's Activities (ages 5-11)
Fun Fitness
Fun Fitness is designed to encourage children to develop healthy eating and physical activity habits. The program will run two (2) hours a day, four (4) days a week, for six (6) weeks of the summer. It will include a nutrition curriculum and sport clinics that will introduce our children to sports like Double-Dutch, step and tennis. Healthy snack provided.
Fine Arts
We are introducing another new component to our summer activities for children this year, fine arts. Neighbors will be partnering with our staff to expose our children to arts such as drawing, and playing steel drums!
Bible CLUB
Bible CLUB has been going on in our backyard for years! It introduces the foundational teachings of the Bible to urban children. We are excited to move the CLUB down the street to the site of Elmhurst Street Children's Park this summer. Please pray that many children will decide to follow Jesus this summer.
Special Events
Psalm 24:1 says: "The earth belongs to the Lord, the whole world and all the people in it." We want to explore what it means to be a part of God's creation. Our field trips will encourage the children to think about the largeness of what God owns. We will visit the Franklin Park Zoo to see the animals, the Children Museum's to see the exhibit of the solar system and take a hike in the Blue Hills Reservation. Other special events include our neighborhood Bike Day, Water Fun Day, National Night Out, and the summer's closing Big Event!
