Snacks

Parents, don’t worry about packing a snack in case your kids get hungry throughout the day. At Shine we provide a morning and afternoon snack for everyone, everyday.

Electives

Who says you can’t have fun and learn at the same time? Each week at Shine your child will get to choose one of our engaging elective classes. Past electives include: Art explosion, cartoon drawing, Pom Pon, STOMP, Culture Exploration, Unicycling, Lacrosse, Fun with Foods, Book Club, Tech Madness, Photography, Gymnastics and many more!

Headquarters

It’s easy to forget about school during the summer, but at Shine we are passionate about making sure your child is ready for the fall. Every week the Nutty Scientests will be teaching science with a hands-on approach.

Activity Stations

Summers weren’t meant to be experienced from inside a building. Favorite stations from last year include gaga ball, tetherball, volleyball, nine square in the air, and can jam.

Education

Every Friday afternoon we pop popcorn and we wind down the week by watching a movie together. Campers get to spend rings that they have earned throughout the week at our Fun Friday Store that is full of great prizes!

Experience Partners

Nutty Scientists

Since 1996, children around the world have benefited from the Nutty Scientists® method for learning through experimentation, participation, and most of all – fun! We are thrilled to have the Nutty Scientists be a part of our weekly program this year! This will provide every child in our program with the chance to be inspired by science!
