Sections/Themes
All students will enjoy this week's themes and a variety of activities, but section options help us plan small group rotations with specialized activities.
- Deep Sea Adventure: Travel deep under the sea for themed projects, crafts, and play.
- DKI Take2 Musical Theatre (performing): In addition to Deep Sea activities, this musical theatre experience features a musical written for kids/teens! Students will spend much of the week learning and rehearsing the musical to show off on Friday.
Highlights & Notes
Choose Full-Day Mon-Fri to ensure you’ll experience the full variety of activities!
- "THE JOURNEY OF THE NOBLE GNARBLE" (performed Friday) The ocean floor is filled with the rarest of creatures, but none are as rare as gnarbles. Their fins are small, their tails are floppy, and they have never strayed far from their homes…until now. Journey of the Noble Gnarble is a story of a little gnarble with a big dream, who tries to make it past doubting blyfish, sneaky subbalubbles, and hungry plinks on his way to the surface of the sea. Along the way he befriends the glinny glims who teach him the importance of positivity and determination!
- All sections will spend time inside and outside. This week has both structured activities and open-ended time for kids to learn through play.

ABOUT SUMMER ADVENTURES:
You can participate in every Summer Adventure week without exact duplication. Even adventures with the same theme in past summers will have updated activities (and are in rotation again by popular request of students).
Participation in the Full Day is recommended for the complete experience with time for a wider range of activities. Exact project/activity itinerary NOT available in advance. All Summer Adventures are curated and adjusted for the enrolled student group to best meet their unique interests, skills, needs, and group dynamic.
Add Before/After Open Studio to extend the day and help meet the needs of your schedule! Extended Day Open Studio offers
8-10am Drop-Off & 4-6pm Pick-Up as needed. This is NOT structured/guided lesson time. Students will enjoy freedom within limits for their own projects and play. With a busy day getting creative, this unstructured time is often spent on puzzles, board games, pretend play, reading, or socializing.NOTE: Packed Lunch/Snacks (peanut and tree nut free) required for Full Day and Extended Day options.
ADVENTURE ATMOSPHERE:
Ages 4yo-14yo invited (except when noted). Enjoy a wholesome & friendly atmosphere with themes and collaborative activities that bring everyone together much like a family or community. Students will spend much of their time in break-out groups with dedicated age-appropriate spaces, activities, instructors, and expectations. With the students' best interest in mind, 3-4 groups will be formed based on actual registration.
Teens will enjoy a dedicated space to work. Teens have optional opportunities to learn through guided leadership for part of their experience. Focus remains on FUN though, as we will be following their interests and inspiration to make sure they enjoy some of their final years as students before young adulthood.
Our team will be utilizing the indoor & outdoor spaces of Adventures & Art including the Main Studio, Lounge, Loft, Choice Center, Stage, Creativity Garden, and Front Patio. A variety of seating and partitioning options will allow flexibility to accomplish different activities.
