FAQ

  • Happy Days is a small-group after-school program and adventure day camp for kids ages 7–12 focused on creativity, exploration, independence, and real-world learning through neighborhood adventures and student-led activities.

  • Happy Days is designed to feel more flexible, collaborative, and experience-based than traditional after-school care. Instead of following a rigid daily schedule, activities are often shaped by the kids’ interests, curiosity, and ideas. We focus on building confidence, decision-making skills, creativity, and safe independence through real-world experiences.
