If you were fortunate enough to attend summer camp as a youngster, you know how transformative the experience can be. Some of the best memory-making events in a child's life were late evenings spent roasting marshmallows and singing songs by the fire and team-building games that offered lessons on how to rely on one another rather than going it alone.
Could you imagine having all of that packed in an after-school program? Camp Tekoa offers some of the same programs that are offered during their summer sessions year-round for their afterschool programs.
Benefits Of Afterschool Programs
There are many benefits for children involved in high-quality after-school programs, mainly that they promote positive development and offer opportunities where they can explore their potential. When participating in an after-school program, you know that your child is safe and is receiving support in their academic and personal lives.
It also gives opportunities for working families to ensure that their children have a safe place to go when parents or guardians are at work. Overall, afterschool programs are great assets to the community, and we believe that taking that program, and putting it outdoors, further fulfills the needs of our community.
