SESSION FOUR - OPEN DOORS

Link to Enrollment Site

May 3rd - June 3rd, Monday and Thursday - 2:30-4:00 pm.


Programs are offered for your child twice per week on Monday AND Thursday, with an exception for 7th and 8th -grade, where it will be offered only on the day they attend in-person classes.


There is NO bussing.


At dismissal of the actual program (at 4 pm), there will be a staggered release of students at the following locations:

Treasure Hunters: Bus loop

Dungeons and Dragons: Front door

Fun Spins!: Bus loop

Movie Education: Front door

VerMoney: Front Door


(FULL) Raider Treasure Hunters (1st-3rd)- You will be a part of a treasure hunting team looking for hidden treasure, clues, and hidden locations. You will practice using GPS coordinates, geocaching, map reading, scavenger hunting, and metal detecting. Good walking shoes will be required for each session.


(FULL) Dungeons and Dragons (2nd-4th)- Explore the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons in this peer-taught program. Peer mentors will introduce younger players to some of the exciting characters, locations, creatures, and magical elements useful for creating your own epic, adventure-filled D&D tales. Ongoing adventures along with map making will be the focus. *Adult supervision provided*


Fun Spins (4th-8th)- See worlds on your bike. Enjoy your friends!  We will begin slowly but then venture out around the town if the weather allows.  When it rains we will cover maintenance and share fun videos of biking around the world.


VerMoney (5th-8th)- One of the best things we can do for young people is to give them the skills and knowledge they will need in life, including financial literacy. Teaching students financial concepts early can positively influence how they manage their finances throughout their lives. This curriculum helps young people reflect on the differences between wants and needs and engages them in making choices about money.


Movie Education (5th-8th)-What kind of movies do you like? Animated? SciFi? Sports? Super Heroes? We got it! What do you like in a movie? Storyline? Special effects? Soundtrack? In Movie Open Doors, we will learn about what goes into making a movie, character development, the history of the film industry, and - of course - watch some classics! Grab a seat, grab some popcorn, and come join us for a festival of film at Movie Open Doors!



Acceptance letters and details will be emailed to the email address provided, the Friday prior to the start of the session.


Masks must be worn at all times!
