SUPPORT SUMMER PROGRAM FOR KIDS

Family fun day summer reading kick-off with bounce houses and games
Classes for adults and English enrichment for children
Crafts, games, and science nights
Game day play with a therapy dog
Girls 11-18 “love yourself” summer camp with Our Neighbors
Arabic class series - for kids to learn the language of the Koran
Nationwide Children’s mobile unit for school screenings & kids health
With additional programs from partners like Columbus Symphony, CAS, Ohio State, the Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4, Moody Nolan Architecture
