Learning Centers

Our Learning Centers give kids living in Pisgah View and Woodridge Apartments a safe and fun place to be after school!

This free program, running Monday through Thursday, welcomes up to 40 elementary students each week. Kids get help with homework, enjoy exciting activities, snack on healthy treats, and work on their own goals—all while making new friends and having a great time!

Summer Camp

Each summer, we pack our 6-week camp with exciting activities for our rising kindergarten through sixth graders. From swimming to crafting and fun local field trips, we aim to give students in our community unique experiences!

Past Summer Camp activities have included swimming, visiting local science museums (AMOS & HandsOn), caverns, arcade, local parks and playgrounds, The WNC Nature Center, minigolf, dance classes, roller skating, and a stream explore with Riverlink!
