PROGRAM SCHEDULE  |  July - September

SESSION THEME | 'All About Me' 

As the summer rages on we will continue with our established theme: "All About Me". Warriors and staff together will continue to explore their personal interests in life, leisure, arts, food, and community favs to visit. They will take time to experience each other's go-to for fun and will learn more about each other along the way - hoping to find common interests along the way!

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ONSITE SESSION TRANSITIONS

There will be a daily transition period from 12:00 pm-3:00 pm during the on-site program days. All Warriors will be required to leave the program sites between sessions. Warriors can register for an AM and PM session on the same day, but they will need to go home between the hours of 12:00 PM- 3:00 PM 

During the transition period, OK Staff will clean and disinfect program space according to our Cleaning & Disinfecting Plan. Staff will also then make preparations for the next group coming to their designated location.

Please note this is a registration request and not all requests will be accepted, safety is our first priority to accepting registration requests. Thank you!

NEW ACTIVITIES FOR THEME

All days will rotate between two different activities. Warriors will spend 4 weeks in each activity for the session.

• Tuesday will include two great activities: Astrology & Creative Writing! Warriors will get the chance to study the great beyond and learn more about the great depths of our universe! Stars, Planets, and much, much more! With said discoveries, Warriors can use their wonderful creativity and new-found knowledge to write awesome, out of this world stories!

• Wednesday (Full Day Option will include food and lunch) will include "Knock-Out Farming" and Cooking titled "All About ME-zza". Summer is the time OK Warriors shine at the Knock-Out Farm, helping to clean it up and prepare it for a brand new season of growing. "All About ME-zza" will explore cooking with personal pizzas as we open the palette to create edible masterpieces!

• Thursday dives deep with "Not So Bored - Board Games" and "Super Sweet Summer Sports". Healthy competition, good sportsmanship, and teamwork will be tackled in all kinds of fun games!

• Friday continues to be the OK Program's ever-popular dedicated Peer-Led Planning Day. Peer-Led Planning is when the Warriors take over the OK schedule and plan and lead a full day of programming. Warriors will match up in groups by interests and have fun planning, preparing, and eventually hosting their very own Friday program day.

• Other special activities that will be sprinkled into this session include Kayaking, Archery, and Forest Preserve Service Learning days as well as hosting volunteers from our many different local universities! The fun has just begun for the Summer!
