Summer lesson plans
While at the center, the staff develop lesson plans based around a specific summer theme, such as:
Our Favorite Things
Creation
Imagination Island
Fruit of the Spirit
Dr. Seuss
Spy Kids (mystery solving)
Splish Splash
Old Testament Stories
Minnesota
Lesson plans include special science activities, art projects, toys from home days, outdoor games and lots of fun. We have a special photo club where special trips are planned for those who want to learn how to take pictures using a camera. Then later, they can edit their photos and these are then given to the families. We also have a theater club for those who want to try their hand at writing and performing.
Hear from our Staff
“The summer program is great because the kids make it great. The staff pick the field trips based on what the kids want to do and what we have done in the past. They also have input in the activities that they want to do. The kids make the summer what they want it to be. They are given the room to make choices and be independent, while also working and playing with kids their age, older and younger. This allows them to develop their social skills with one another and the staff while creating memories and friends”
