AFTERSCHOOL - up to 12 years
Tarantulas

Bright, spacious, engaging indoor classrooms and outdoor areas provide all the freedom that big kids need to explore the world they live in and to socialize with their friends.  With one teacher for every twenty children there is just the right amount of independence to allow them to practice making good choices with a teacher close by to step in anytime help is needed.

 In the mornings and afternoons the Tarantula Club kids can curl up in a cozy area to read and relax, or get together with friends for a rousing game of Clue.  Every morning and afternoon starts with a nutritious snack to fuel their active minds. There is quiet time set aside each afternoon to get a head start on homework and then it’s outside to play on our beautiful shaded playgrounds that are designed with older children in mind.  Parents never again have to worry about what to do on school holidays or snow days because the Tarantula Club will be there with fun activities that your school age child will love.  Parents must arrange for transportation themselves or in cooperation with their child’s elementary school. 

DYNAMITE DAY CAMP - up to 12 years
Summer Program

Dynamite Day Camp provides fun, exciting activities in a casual camp setting.  With a variety of field trips each week the children have many opportunities to explore the world and make new friends.  The Dynamite Day Campers climb aboard busses and take off for fun and exotic destinations such as swimming, miniature golf, bowling, the St. Louis Zoo, the Alton Lock and Dam, or World Aquarium.  When the campers aren’t out and about town they are back at camp involved with science experiments, cooking activities, arts and crafts, math mysteries and journaling.
