Program Information
Objective:
This program is designed to provide an environment for children of 7 to 12 years old to play and learn through various program activities, which help to bring out creativity, confidence, and compassion of each child. As a result, it will help the children to improve their concentration in school, their physical flexibility as well as their communication and interaction skills with friends and families.
Program Length: January – June, 2010.
- During these six months, children will participate in weekly activities on Sundays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at Huntington Beach Library. On the last Sunday of each month is a full day of adventure from 9am to 5pm with lunch provided. In additional, there will be other interesting projects that they will practice at home. There will also be peer support, communication, and mentoring through the program blog.
- At the end of the program, there will be a summer camp for kids and parents to participate. Further details will be posted.

All pick-ups and drop-offs for activities will be at Huntington Beach Library, 7111 Talbert Avenue Huntington Beach, CA (between Golden West and Gothard).
