Homework Club

Time for the students to work on homework with direction and basic tutoring from teens and adults. Our mentors are there to encourage and support in a stress-free environment.

 

Games

Time to run off that extra energy that has built up during the day, and time to have fun with new friends.  Children will play a variety of games including parachutes, community-building games, traditional games, and board games for rainy days

 

Enrichment

Special guests will introduce the children to a wide variety of new experiences, skills, and crafts.  Planned subjects include drawing, photography, sign language, woodworking, gardening, and even a visit from the Alameda County Fire Department.

 

Gospel

The children will begin and end each  afternoon with the Rev. Mark Spaulding,  musician and storyteller.  Mark will guide the children's discovery of the Christian Gospel through  story and song.
