The soccer balls that came in the kits this summer were awesome and the kids loved them.
Soccer is a HUGE deal at our Club. The soccer balls that came in the kits this summer were awesome and the kids loved them. Even though soccer is popular, many of the kids here don't own their own soccer ball so having one in their bag for them to keep was amazing. That will always be the first soccer ball they got to call their own and it came from you guys!

Before long the mom walked back to school with a wagon and told us that everyone in the neighborhood wanted a box!
On the day the Active Discovery Kits were given out, one family went home and started playing with the items in it and the Activity Book, and before long the mom walked back to school with a wagon and told us that everyone in the neighborhood wanted a box --would it be possible? Of course we sent her on her way with a wagon full of boxes.

They were happy and super tired afterwards.
Wow the kids loved the Art & Agility kits. I wasn’t sure how the full range of ages would respond to the Pointillism education and projects, but 15 minutes into the first session - they were into it! Everyone was quietly working - it was almost magical seeing them escape into art and be so peaceful. Their finished pictures were amazing too! The agility grids were cool - we played sprinting Tic Tac Toe, and then did lots of different movement patterns - everyone was happy and super tired afterwards. Thank you for coming up with such great kits. The staff and the kids look forward to them.

Love these kits!
These kits can be used over and over again, encouraging regular activity. It was certainly eye opening for many children because it provided an opportunity and access to something new for them.
