Current Programs

Challenge Island

Join us as we pilot this exciting new program!

Challenge Island is made up of an archipelago of proprietary islands with each island being built on a wholly unique, cross-curricular theme. Every island is home to a wide array of Challenge Island destinations, each featuring a set of exclusive engineering challenges based around the island’s central theme. Every week, our afterschool STEAM Teams dive into one of our 100’s of proprietary challenges using only a treasure chest full of low-tech supplies and their infinite imaginations.
