Many kids ages 4 – 9 around the world have discovered one of the most fun clubs ever created for them. The Adventurer Club is designed to strengthen parent/child relationships by providing specialized weekly club activities tuned into the psychological needs of this age group while simultaneously giving parents opportunities for learning parenting skills and enjoying special activities with their children.
Leadership
The volunteer leadership attend special training sessions to understand how to maximize the focus of the Adventurer Club in strengthening the parent-child bonds and enable both parents and children to understand their relationship to God.
Activities
Each child is encouraged to participate in all activities and parents/guardians are given assignments along with their child. There are many age-related challenging activities on the Adventurer menu. These range from games and outdoor activities to nature exploration and family camping, field trips, bible adventure, and community service projects. A six-level age-specific curriculum is used along with many specialized award areas of crafts, nature, recreation, spiritual development, and home arts. The five (six) levels are: Little Lambs (age 4/Pre-k), Eager Beavers (age 5/kindergarten), Busy Bees (age 6/first grade), Sunbeams (age 7/second grade), Builders (age 8/third grade), and Helping Hands (age 9/fourth grade).
