GRIT CLUB

The After-School Program Kids Actually Want to Attend

Your kid finishes homework, trains in parkour,  ninja, gymnastics, or basketball in a real gym, gets outside for some fresh air,  tackles STEM challenges and actually WANTS to be there. Drop-in when you need us, or come daily.

SPRING BREAK CAMP

For kids who need to do more than sit around.  Your kid will love our games,  movement training, STEM/STEAM challenges, obstacle competitions, and more! . For ages 3-12yrs.
