What is ...In The Park?
A program that provides a fun, safe environment for children to develop important
life skills, discuss health/safety issues, and develop the next generation of
community leaders using the fine arts as the primary teaching platform.
Who can participate?
In The Park was designed for children entering 1st through 6th grades.
What typically goes on during a day of programming?
The program starts with welcome time where we go over the expectations of the
program in a fun and exciting way and do an energy-building opening game.
After the welcome time, a combination of any of the following could happen:
- A fun interaction storytime teaching important positive skill
(honesty, friendship, gentleness, patience, etc.)
- A food segment teaching kids how to make yummy healthy snacks
(and we get to eat them too!)
- A health/safety segment on age appropriate topics
(fire safety, bullying, hand washing, etc.)
- An art project scaled to the age level of the children
(tie-dye T-Shirts, watermelon boats, mini pumpkin painting, etc.)
- A game time working on teamwork and co-operation
(indoor and outdoor games - depending on the weather)
- Cool Contests, Fun Prizes, and more!
