1on1 Sports: After-School Hoops
(K-2ND, Min 10/Max 18)
Join One-on-One Basketball this semester for After School Hoops®, an ideal after school activity for aspiring athletes. Basketball is a unique sport that combines upper and lower body motor-skill learning with an intense cardiovascular workout. Our organization has decades of experience teaching this sport in a motivating, inclusive and age-appropriate manor. After School Hoops® makes three guarantees: your child will learn, sweat, and have fun!!
Coding NP
(3RD-5TH Grade, Min 5/Max 16)
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.
CraftLab Seattle: Art with Nature
(1ST-5TH Grade, Min 8/Max 12)
Art with Nature: Using nature as our inspiration this fall term - think plants, animals, seasons, and bugs! Each week we will focus on a new nature item to inspire our creativity and make fun and creative crafts to take home and enjoy. We will use upcycled, donated and thrifted materials each week so bring your creativity, your best cutting and gluing skills and of course a willingness to have fun with CraftLab Seattle!
HOFTC: Choose Your Own Adventure
(K-5TH Grade, Max 8)
Would your child like to join friends for an organized active game led by one of our experienced counselors? Would they prefer to play an indoor board game or card game? How about solo time to color or work on homework? Maybe they just need some less-structured freetime on the playground or field (rain or shine!) after school to burn off excess energy and engage in free play. We offer all of those options! Choose Your Own Adventure allows each child to recharge after school in their own way, without screens and with proper supervision.
HOFTC: Gaga Ball + HOF Games
(K-2ND Grade, Min 8/Max 16)
Can’t get enough Gaga Ball? Play every week while mixing in some other summer camp favorites such as 9-Square, Castle Ball, and dodgeball games! Newcomers will learn the games and improve their skills, while seasoned players can get their competitive juices flowing.
Kids’ Carpentry Seattle
(K-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, selfesteem, 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.
Little Hands: Machine Sewing
(2ND-5TH Grade, Min 3/Max 16)
Whether your student is brand new to sewing or already has experience, this class offers opportunities to learn, grow, and create. All students begin with a comprehensive safety orientation covering essential machine protocols and studio expectations. Machine sewing is an exciting, hands-on experience that requires focus, patience, fine motor coordination, and care. Students learn how to safely operate our heavy-duty sewing machines while developing problem-solving skills, confidence, resilience, and independence. Instructors provide individualized support and guidance throughout the learning process. This is a student-led class where students progress at their own pace. After completing the beginner curriculum, students must successfully complete two prerequisite projects before gaining full autonomy in selecting independent projects. Project offerings rotate each session and may include backpacks, clothing, accessories, bags, games, and stuffed animals.
Sponge: Spanish
(K-5TH Grade, Min 8/Max 12)
Join the chess club! Learn tactics and strategies of chess, solve chess puzzles, and play the game with your friends! Knowledge of chess moves recommended.
Strategic Kids: Paper Airplanes & Aerodynamics
(K-5TH Grade, Min 6/Max 18)
In this session, students learn how planes fly, Newton’s 3 laws of motion and make paper airplanes that broke the Guinness Book of Records for the longest and farthest flight. They will also learn to fly a tumble wing, board glider and hand glider (depending on skill level).
