Exciting field trips all summer long

Our summer is filled with trips around Central Iowa.  We'll see where our State's Legislative body meets, learn about our state's conservation efforts, and explore native prairie land.  We will also provide crucial support for our fellow Iowans with visits to Meals of the Heartland. 

Our curriculum supports full STEAM education. The students will experiment with cause and effect in nature, discover the scientific method and learn how to make solid conclusions, and they will build beautiful art creations each week. 

We will explore outdoor learning with the goal of working towards a common achievement to enforce crucial life skills. Additionally, we will focus on teamwork and sportsmanship during structured and abstract games and activities. 

The students will get to see all sides of Iowa culture. This includes a wide range of experiences, such as exploring Living History Farms, Waterford Nursing Home, and the State Historical Building in Des Moines. 

We encourage the children to focus on working as a team while being responsible for their own well-being . The idea of teamwork in learning is essential. We help children continue to build these skills throughout the summer. 

Our in-house library was expanded through a generous donation, and features exciting series like The Animorphs and Captain Underpants. We have the book that will capture the imagination of your child!

We offer a private Facebook group for our F-Troop parents only to provide information about activities.  You will be able to see pictures, videos, and our summer schedule.
