The Peer Mentor Program meets every Wednesday at the public school between 2:15-2:45pm, then walks as a group back to the Funhouse Rec & Tech room. High schoolers plan and facilitate activities for the middle and high school mentor pairs. We also plan community events, and high schoolers can receive community service hours for their time spent in the program. This program promotes school-connectedness and strengthens relationships within the public school.

Club Create is a continuation of our awesome "Camp Create" that offers kids in grades 4-8 a hodgepodge of fun experiences and a place to feel like they belong. Club Create thrives because each kid has a unique approach to every activity. We value how everyone brings something different and inspiring to the group dynamic and collective creativity.
We make art of all sorts, explore different crafts projects, cook and bake, drum, share stories, games, laughs, and more. Some projects that we did this past summer include: painting and collage, building with popsicle sticks and glue guns (our favorite!), sew lavender pillows, record podcasts, play games, go on field trips, bucket drumming, and the list goes on!We may even fit in a few field trips this fall!

The Funhouse Commons presents a new after-school club, Technomages! We’ll get hands-on with technology: experimenting with electronics, building bots, coding apps and conducting teardowns in the analogue and digital world. Whether we’re programming a game, creating a gadget, or exploring the wild wonders of AI, we’ll be learning by doing. No experience? Come join the party! If you're curious about how tech works, if you love to tinker, if you want to know why tech does what it does – this club is for you!
Stay tuned for our next session!
Please contact Maddie Olson with any questions or to learn more! maddie@thefunhouse.org
