The Avenue: after school kids club
The Avenue
Children in grades K-5 are invited to join us every Tuesday from 4-7pm for a fun afternoon of sports, art, homework help, and time to learn together. Each afternoon will end with a meal for all kids and their families at 5:45pm followed by other Tuesday night programming open to everyone
The Avenue Activities
At the Avenue, children can choose from fun gym activities, creative art projects, or dedicated homework help before gathering for a time of wonder and learning. We end each day by sharing a family-style meal, where families, caregivers, and other church members are invited to join us. It's a welcoming place where kids can learn, play, create, build friendships, and grow together in a caring community.
Gym Zone
Kids will have the opportunity to get moving and have fun in a safe and welcoming environment! Our gym time includes a variety of age-appropriate activities and recreational sports. We encourage teamwork and trying new things. Every child is invited to participate at their own comfort level while developing healthy habits, making new friends, and enjoying active play that supports both physical and social growth.
Art Lab
Art gives children the opportunity to explore their creativity in a fun and encouraging environment. Using a variety of materials and techniques, kids will create simple crafts and art projects that inspire imagination. Projects are designed for all skill levels, allowing every child to express themselves, try new ideas, and take pride in their unique creations. Art time also encourages patience and sharing while providing a relaxing space to connect with friends and have fun.
Homework Hub
Need help with your homework? Our homework help time provides a quiet, supportive space where children can work on school assignments with guidance from caring and skilled volunteers. Homework help is optional each week and will take place at the same time as the art and gym programs.
Wonder and Learn
Each week after gym or art time, children will gather for an engaging story and discussion centred on lessons from the bible. Through interactive conversations, hands-on activities, and creative storytelling, children will explore different themes. We encourage children to ask questions, share their ideas and experiences, and learn from one another in a welcoming and respectful environment. Our goal is to help children grow in character, build meaningful relationships, and discover lessons they can apply in their everyday lives.
Community Table
At the end of each program day, families are invited to join their children for a shared meal. Community Table provides an opportunity to slow down, enjoy a nutritious meal together, and connect with one another after a busy day. It also creates space for families to build relationships with other participants, church members and volunteers in a warm and welcoming community. Whether sharing stories from the day or simply enjoying time together, this meal is an important part of fostering connection, belonging, and community for children and their families.
