More Than a Summer Program

Every part of our summer program is designed around the child. We focus on four areas of growth so children return to school stronger, more confident, and ready to succeed.

Academic Growth

Activities and enrichment that keep minds sharp and prevent summer learning loss.

Nutritious Meals

Hot breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack so your child stays nourished and focused.

Character & Faith

Spiritual exploration, values development, and building strong moral character.

Physical Health

Sports, outdoor play, pool days, and fitness activities that promote healthy habits.

What Your Child's Day Looks Like

From drop-off to pick-up, every part of the day is covered.
7:30 - 8:15 AM

Drop-Off & Breakfast

Your child arrives through our easy car line. A staff member greets them and checks them in. The day starts with a hot breakfast to fuel up for what's ahead.
MidDay

Activities & Lunch

The heart of the day is packed with group activities, learning time, and outdoor play. A hot lunch keeps everyone going strong.
Afternoon

Adventures & Snack

Field trip days, pool days, and hands-on enrichment activities fill the afternoon. An afternoon snack rounds out the day before pick-up.
4:00 - 5:30 PM

Pick-Up

Out of the Classroom, Into the World

Field Trips

Throughout the summer, C4K students explore new places and try new things on supervised field trips. These experiences are designed to build confidence, spark curiosity, and expand each child's view of the world around them.

Families receive a full field trip calendar before summer begins, so you always know what's coming. Students travel together on the C4K bus with program staff who stay with them the entire trip.

Pool Days

Supervised swim days at a local pool are one of the highlights of every C4K summer. Lifeguards are on duty, and C4K staff are stationed throughout the pool to keep a close eye on every child.

Students stay in areas of the pool that match their swim experience, so everyone can have fun safely.

Keep your child learning and growing all summer long.

We've had six kids go through Coalition for Kids. Our oldest just graduated from the program this year. Watching each of them grow, make friends, and find adults who believe in them has been incredible. C4K is a second home for our family.
