After School Hoops® makes three guarantees: your child will learn, sweat, and have fun!
BEAM Experiences: Stop Motion Animation
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 8/Max 14)
Bring your story to life by making stop motion animated movies! Working in teams, we will build sets and characters using LEGO® bricks, clay, and other materials, then write, direct, and edit unique stories. We will learn about narrative structure, setting the tone, and using special effects to communicate stories to an audience. This program takes a strong social-emotional learning lens and focuses on skills like empathy, giving and receiving feedback, and goal-setting. By the end of the session, kids will complete multiple animation exercises and a final film project to share with the world! Students will take home a USB drive containing their movies and parents will also receive a download link via email.
BEAM Experiences: Video Game Design
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 8/Max 14)
Design and build your very own video game! Students will use Stencyl, a kid-friendly game creation engine to make 2-D video games on the computer. Each day, students will receive a short lesson, followed by guided creative building time. Lessons focus on designing fun and challenging platformer levels. This is not a programming-focused class, but students will have the opportunity to customize their games using block-based programming similar to Scratch. At the end of the course, students will have a game they can play and share with friends and family! Student projects are sent home in a shared folder containing their game files and art via email within a week of the session ending. Instructions will be included for downloading and using Stencyl at home to play the games and continue their work! BEAM will provide the computer used for class. PREREQUISITES Students must have basic computer skills: be able to save and load files, switch between programs and type on the computer.
Bilingual Kids Seattle: Spanish Language!
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 10/Max 18)
Have you ever wanted to provide your child with the opportunity of being bilingual? Students will learn and practice the second most commonly spoken language in the U.S. while benefiting from language learner outcomes such as support for higher academic achievement and the development of cognitive skills. Additionally, learning a new language gives students a greater global understanding of our world and access to another culture to see things from a new perspective. This is an immersion class consisting of a section of language instruction in an academic setting (60 min) and a section of Arts & Crafts activities in Spanish (30 min). The academic component follows an innovative, dynamic and well-researched curriculum while the Arts & Crafts section provides a fun environment to practice the language and learn new words in real context through painting & drawing, crafting and music.
CraftLab Seattle: Fall into Art
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 8/Max 12)
Celebrate the sights, textures, and colors of autumn through hands-on art projects inspired by the changing season. In this class, kids will create with natural materials, experiment with warm-toned palettes, and explore cozy fall themes like leaves, forests, animals, and harvest. Each week offers a new project that blends creativity with seasonal inspiration—think leaf printmaking, pumpkin painting, woodland creature collages, and more! Perfect for kids who love to make things and get into the fall spirit. Come celebrate the season of renewal with CraftLab Seattle!
Coding NP
(3RD-5TH Grade, Min 5/Max 20)
Creative Coding teaches your child to code by helping them make their own custom video games! Our Project based, multi-level classes are amazingly fun yet very effective in teaching creative problem solving AND emotional resilience. As the students bring their ideas to life, they iterate through the emotional cycle of Coding (idea>excitement>effort> frustration>more effort>triumph!) With our support and positive encouragement. Repeating this cycle not only builds great coders, but more importantly, develops emotional persistence that will help students enjoy taking on new challenges in all aspects of their lives. Students new to coding will participate in the Creative Coding core curriculum, learning the fundamental elements of coding using MIT's Scratch to create their very own computer games! Many parents and educators are realizing that the benefits of learning to code at a young age extend far beyond the skill itself. Through the "brain exercise" of coding, coders build intelligence like athletes build muscles. Just as importantly, they develop stronger problem-solving skills, confidence over technology, and emotional persistence.
Everlove Academy: Public Speaking, Debate, & Leadership
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 5/Max 15)
Students will develop confidence, clear communication, and leadership skills through engaging public speaking and debate activities. In a supportive environment, they will practice organizing their thoughts, speaking with poise, and listening respectfully to others. Each class includes interactive exercises such as speeches, storytelling, improvisation, teamwork challenges, and mini debates designed to make learning both fun and impactful.
Kids Carpentry Seattle
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 5/Max 8)
Kids' Carpentry is a hands-on toy building experience designed to teach kids practical woodworking skills with an emphasis on the safe use of hand tools. While kids construct fun and exciting projects, they are also empowered to become independent thinkers--building confidence, self-esteem, and a repertoire of practical skills that will last them a lifetime. At the end of the session kids will bring home one or more wooden games or toys that they have built by hand from scratch.
Kong Academy: Parkour
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 6/Max 12)
Get ready for an adventurous journey in Social Awareness, Relationships, and Responsible Decision-Making Skills.

They'll dive into a world of teamwork, navigating challenges that foster social awareness and build positive relationships.

Whether you’re brand new to machine sewing or already have experience, this camp is designed to cater to all skill levels. All students will have a full safety overview of essential machine safety protocols, after which new students will complete our beginner sewing curriculum, while the more experienced students can build off their existing skills, taking their sewing abilities to the next level. This class is studentled, and they advance at their own pace with autonomy over the projects they choose to create. Projects include backpacks, phone cases, clothing, accessories, bags, games, stuffed animals and are swapped out every session!

Rainy Day Dinner Club: Weekly Dinner
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 10/Max 10)
Each week, students learn basic cooking skills while making dinner for their family! Students will create delicious dishes while focusing on the importance of local ingredients, scratch cooking, and natural preservatives while practicing knife skills and kitchen safety. Each entrée will serve 4 to 6 and will be packaged in oven-ready cookware with baking instructions. Please note that we offer vegetarian options upon request during registration.

Note: Students attending an after-care program or leaving the food at room temperature past the 30-minutes run the risk of getting a foodborne illness.
