We will visit the library, explore the children's garden, go ice skating, and have sledding days. Any additional costs for a trip (ie: money for snacks, ice cream, swimming) will be conveyed prior to the trip but transportation is always covered.  Teamwork Time! At the end of each week, we will play some games, learn different sports, practice team-building, and do teamwork challenges. In weather that does not allow us to spend much time outside, we will occasionally watch a kid-friendly movie or documentary. *Cancellation Policy is shared in the handbook. Cancellations with less than a week's notice are not refunded. Cancellations with 7-30 days' notification receive 75% refund. Cancellations with more than 30 days notice receive a full refund.
