Slimetopia®: Story Time Slime
Once Upon a Story Time there was a bestselling Challenge Island Slimetopia® class that turned children’s favorite books into fantastical slimy adventures! Our innovative STEAM Teams will mix up a library-full of book-inspired slimes. We will also learn about the magic behind the stories and the science of slime.

Why Challenge Island?
Challenge Island is a cross-educational STEAM enrichment program. All programs are unplugged with no digital technology. Children are taken on unique "island" adventures where they work in collaborative groups to take on high-level thinking challenges on real world issues using only the materials in their treasure chest and their creativity. Students have opportunity to build & strengthen their skills in all five aspects of STEAM – Science, Technology (invention & innovation), Engineering, Arts (language & creative), and Math - to successfully complete challenges as a team; while also strengthening their life skills in communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, flexibility, sociability, initiative, leadership, grit, 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!

· In the event school is closed due to WEATHER, no after-school activities will be held. There is no guarantee of a make-up date in the case of inclement weather. Missed sessions will be made up if schedules allow (which includes Challenge Island schedules, school room schedules, and OMPS schedules). We always want to make up a class, so Challenge Island will always make all efforts to make up sessions cancelled due to weather when possible.
