Fun Factory Information
Fun Factory strives to meet the developmental needs of particular age groups and more importantly, the individual needs of each child. Fun Factory is prepared in advance by the Program Director, Audrey Gann, and the Fun Factory camp staff. A weekly activity schedule for the following week will be available on Fridays throughout the summer. The scheduling, pacing, and rhythm of each activity are consistent with recognized principles of childhood education and recreation. Fun Factory will run from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program starts Tuesday, May 30 and ends Friday, July 28. We expect to have 100 students, ages 6 to 11 years old, attending daily. Students who have completed Kindergarten - 4th Grade in the 2022 - 2023 school year can attend Fun Factory.
Snacks will be served twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. All snacks will follow the nutrition guidelines for children.
Parents will need to provide sack lunches daily. These lunches will be stored in refrigerators until lunch is served.
Weekly fee is $120 per child. Families with multiple children attending will receive a $20 discount per week for each additional child. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required PER CHILD and will be transferred to the child's first full week of attendance.
The program includes but is not limited to the following:
Sports, Field Trips, STEAM, STEM, Reading, Scavenger Hunts, Movies, Storytelling, Library Fun, Free Time, Outdoor Exploration Time, Gym Games, Crafts, Swimming, Brain Challenges, Theater, Writing, Puzzles, Local Tours, Nature Walks, Summer Curriculum and Physical Activity.
Most of our activities are within walking distance but when we can’t walk, we use buses provided by USD 266 Maize.
