Funtastic Kidz will be in the mornings and is for incoming 1st graders through out going 6th graders. The participants will be broken up into similar aged groups with 1-2 counselors working with each group. The counselors will be guided by directors. The directors will also be working with the Morrow
County School District to help provide free breakfast/lunch services for the participants. Busing is provided. See website for routes and times. For those ages 0-18 who are not participants of the program and would like a free breakfast and lunch, go to Sam Boardman Elementary to pick up those meals. The participants will be active with weekly themes. Those themes are Butterfly gardens/ dinosaurs, Gardening and environmental science, Space camp, ocean/water safety, and Olympics/sports.
