HOFTC: Choose Your Own Adventure 

(K-5th Grade, Max 8 Mon, Max 16 Wed)

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 Grade, 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

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.
