Please Note: Most in-person activities are optional and participation is completely voluntary.  

Thursday activities

In-personal activities are held each Thursday from 1-3 p.m. at the James Madison Education Center in Burlington, 2132 Madison Ave., for elementary and middle school students. Students are dropped off & picked up at the front doors. PE, Music and Art are often part of our time together, as well as visits from the Iowa State Extension Office & Green Iowa.  1x per month we also have special guests join us from the Burlington Fire Department and other places in our community!  Our In-Person Spotlight Page has recent pictures of our students and their adventures!

Field trips

A change of pace is always welcome! Students of all ages will have opportunities for field trips, where they can learn and grow as they see more of the world first-hand! From the Burlington Bees Games to the Area Recyclers and Civic Music performances, we hope to bring valuable field trips to students as often as possible.
