Weekly Sessions:
Glow-in-the-Dark Geometry: Make geometric shapes using glowsticks. Lay out the sticks to create mystical repeating patterns. Then flick off the lights to see it all glow!
Beach Ball Party: This is a party you wonʼt want to miss! Youʼll use our star-studded beach ball to play volleyball, then go gaga chucking the ball against targets to score points.
Spy Training: See if you have what it takes to be a spy. Youʼll break different codes for clues to find the hidden treasure!
Daring Darts: Supersize the fun in this giant game of floor darts! Once we learn how to keep score, weʼll use hacky sacks to play a few rounds.
Crazy Card Club: Crazy 8s isnʼt just the name of our club; itʼs also a famous card game! Learn how to play it and other fun games using a deck of cards you get to keep!
Bouncy Dice Explosion: Your big chance to throw things because youʼre supposed to. Find out the probability of rolling a 2 or a 5, then try to be the winning chip on a giant Bingo board.
Pirate Treasure Hunt: Map out coordinates to create a secret picture. Use your skills to find the treasure before the pirates do!
Flying Fuzzies: Send fuzzy pom-pom balls flying through the air using popsicle sticks and rubber bands. Figure out what launch positions work best, then measure the flight to prove it.
