Donna Williams Provided by Battle Creek Parks and Recreation, KIK Summer is designed for working parents who do not want to leave their children home alone. This program is neighborhood based, allowing for a child to walk to the site when needed. The trained and caring staff that work with the children provide educational, and exciting activities that build self-esteem, instill teamwork, and pride in the children that attend. There are a few field trips off site to places like Full Blast and the Binder Park Zoo. School Based Scouting, Character Unlimited and the Substance Abuse Council have all been a part of this program in the past, we look forward to their visits again this summer.
Registration opens at various times of the school year.
This information is sent home with the children at school. The KIK Staff is trained and very dedicated to the safety and well being of the participants. The participants enjoy learning about their community and the world through experiences they wouldn't normally be able to participate in such as violin lesson, sign language and more. KIK provides opportunities such as trips to Lake Michigan, K-Wings Games, and trips to the Discovery Theater. The afternoon is planned to include snack, homework time, reading, crafts, games, and other educational experiences.
