Extreme Kids Winter Clubs
Welcome to Extreme Kids Clubs, our vibrant collection of groups designed to provide welcoming spaces for young people to engage with themselves and the community on their own terms. Clubs offer participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in interests like art, music, and gaming alongside peers who share their passions, while encouraging creative self-expression and building confidence, socialization, communication and problem-solving skills.
Each session encourages social-emotional development among participants and is facilitated by skilled and empathetic leaders who understand the value of communication, interaction, and support. Participants have the opportunity to forge friendships, enhance their social skills, and build confidence in a nurturing, strength-based environment.
How does pricing work?
We offer a tiered pricing structure to maintain access for our families while sustaining our programs long-term, ensuring we can continue delivering high-quality services and resources to our community. Please note, the choice of which tier to select lies entirely with each family.
The Connector tier most closely reflects the program’s cost.
Regardless of the selected tier, all participants receive the same level of exceptional programming.
