Summer Hangs
We are thrilled to offer an NEW enriching experience for students entering grades 6, 7, or 8 for the 2024-2025 academic year through our Summer Hangs program.
Our curriculum is designed to inspire and engage, with a diverse lineup of activities that span STEM, Athletics, and the Arts. Each week introduces a new theme, ensuring a dynamic and immersive summer experience. We proudly provide breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack to support our members’ energy and focus throughout the day. Recognizing the importance of independence in adolescence, our program features a drop-in style structure. This allows teens the autonomy to sign themselves out once per day, promoting responsibility within a safe and structured environment.
For parents, our program offers the peace of mind that comes from knowing your teen is in a supportive, enriching environment designed to nurture their independence and interests. For teens, it’s an opportunity to explore new areas, develop skills, and enjoy a sense of freedom, all within a community of peers.
Spaces are available on a weekly registration basis, providing flexibility for summer planning. Join us for a summer of growth, discovery, and fun at our Summer Hangout.
