Our Programs

We offer programming for middle school-aged youth during the school year and summer.  Each day is filled with a variety of activities for the youth to participate in, including recreational games, service learning projects, leadership training, art activities, cooking projects and field trips.  During the school year, Teen Nights are offered Friday evenings at the New Brighton Family Service Center.  These nights are free to CPY-registered youth and are a great chance to hang out with friends while taking part in tons of fun activities.

Summer Fun 2020 starts here!

Ummm…isn’t it too early to be thinking about this?  Absolutely not! We start planning our summer months ahead of time, making sure we have a location and many of the details worked out long before spring flowers start blooming.  Summers bring some of our wildest fun, and it takes some time to make that kind of fun happen!  We’d love to have you join us, so stay tuned here as we post our plans.  Our plans for Summer 2020 include the return of programs 5 days a week, Monday – Friday. Morning programs will also be returning, with drop-off times starting as early as 7:30am; afternoon programs run from 12:00pm until 5:30pm…a great match with summer school.

Just a few of our program features:

  • Daily lunch and snack
  • Twice-weekly field trips
  • Theme-based, age-appropriate enrichment activities
  • Daily outdoor activities (as weather permits)
  • Transportation to and from home or summer school for those who require it
  • Lots of flexibility!

Each week features one day spent at Lake Johanna Regional Park, or the local sprinkler pad and at least one day on a field trip to places like local fish & wildlife preserves, the MN Science Museum, Hugo Animal Farm and so much more! Our “on-site” (non-field trip) days are spent doing a variety of activities such as recreational games, arts and crafts, cooking and music lessons.  Your kids will have a blast!

Worried that our rates don’t work with your budget?

There are many, many scholarships available for families, so give us a call!  Applying for your scholarship is really as easy as making a phone call (not tons of paperwork), and we work hard to make the program work for you and your budget.

All Families…

  • Can take advantage of our sibling discounts (20% off the regular weekly fee) – great for larger families.
  • Have access to limited, partial scholarships and our sliding scale.  Proof of income is required.  Please call to inquire about our sliding scale rates.

We hope you’ll consider joining us this upcoming summer as we plan to shatter the record for the most fun you can have in one day!
