Challenge Island is a cross-educational STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) enrichment program for kids. All programs are unplugged with no digital technology. Children are taken on unique "island" adventures where they work in collaborative groups (STEAM Teams) to take on high-level thinking challenges on real world issues using only the materials in their treasure chest and their creativity.  Kids experience all five aspects of STEAM - Science, Technology (invention & innovation), Engineering, Arts (language & creative), and Math - to successfully complete challenges on real world issues; while also increasing their soft skills / life skills in communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, flexibility, sociability, initiative, leadership, and perseverance through difficulty. Challenge Island is dedicated to ensuring a brighter future for our kids and our communities by helping you prepare your child to succeed in the 21st Century and beyond!
