Bilingual Kids Seattle: Spanish Language!
(K-5th Grade, Min 10/Max 18)
Have you ever wanted to provide your child with the opportunity of being bilingual? Students will learn and practice the second most commonly spoken language in the U.S. while benefiting from language learner outcomes such as support for higher academic achievement and the development of cognitive skills. Additionally, learning a new language gives students a greater global understanding of our world and access to another culture to see things from a new perspective.
Bricks 4 Kidz: Junior Robotics
(K-2nd Grade, Min 6/Max 12)
Create awesome robots with intuitive LEGO® bricks! Students will learn about motorized construction techniques and build a foundation for our advanced courses. Kids will learn about how robots share similar features to people: Computers = Brains, Motors = Muscles, Sensors = Senses, Batteries = Hearts. We will work in teams to solve creative design challenges. Note - this is an engineering and building class that does not have a focus on programming.
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 free-time 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.
Kids Carpentry Seattle
(K-5th, 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, self-esteem, 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.
Kong Academy: Parkour
(K-2nd Grade, Min 6/Max 12)
Get ready for an adventurous journey in Social Awareness, Relationships, and Responsible Decision-Making Skills. The Kong Academy program empowers kids physically, socially, and emotionally through: play, games, and parkour-based movement. Join us as your kids unlock their social superpowers through fitness-focused games and movement-based adventures. They'll dive into a world of teamwork, navigating challenges that foster social awareness and build positive relationships.
Orangutan Chess: Chess Club
(K-8th Grade, Min 10/Max 22)
Chess Club is a community for new and experienced students to learn together, including checkmate patterns, tactics, openings, strategy, chess notation, chess history, famous games, local chess events, how to play in chess tournaments, different ways to play chess (variants), how to create a chess variant and more! ChessKid.com gold memberships are provided to all club members for 24/7 access to puzzles, lessons, and games. OCA has instructed multiple Washington State Chess Champions since 2017. Because younger students frequently have shorter attention spans, OCA offers 10-15 minutes of optional “wind down” time at the end of the club with non-chess videos like TED educational cartoons or the award-winning Shaun the Sheep.
Stone Soup Theatre: Trolls (Musical)
(K-2nd Grade, Min 7/Max 12)
After the Bergens invade their home, Poppy, the happiest troll ever born, and the overly-cautious, grumpy Branch, set off on a journey to rescue their friends. Join us for this jukebox musical that is filled with adventures, mishaps and epic songs!
