Summer Camps for HAK Kids!                            

HAK understands how long summer days become when you constantly need to find ways to entertain your children. As parents ourselves, we truly understand your concern to provide creative and active outlets that will enrich their little minds and bodies.

This summer...HAK is easing those concerns by offering summer camps/activites which are specifically designed to answer the question of 'what to do today?'...while balancing your childrens' need for fun, learning, and movement. We are achieving this by brining back our most popular camps from last year and by adding new ones for this year.

In addition to the summer camps, we will be providing daily courses for kids of all ages from 9am to 4pm. Also, for parents who use our program as an alternative to day care, we are happy to announce our partnership with the Ogden Valley Montessori. Together we are providing fun and enriching experiences for your children throughout the entire summer season.

This summer when you kids ask you 'what are we going to do today?', you can respond with peaceful confidence that 'we are going to have a ton of fun today!'...knowing that HAK will take care of the rest. The only remaining question is 'what are you going to do with all of your quiet time?'.

Description

At HAK we take pride in providing safe, fun, and enriching opportunities for kids to keep active all summer long. Our experienced staff is dedicated to making each camp a unique and memorable experience. So whether your kids are traversing a rock wall, painting a masterpiece, or cooling off with water balloon games, rest assured they will be having the time of their lives!
