Registration Open
for Fall 2020
It is our mission to create a bridge between peers, family, community, and the school environment to promote the happiness, the health, and the success of middle school youth.
THE CREEK provides the opportunity for young people to grow in all areas of development: social, emotional, physical and cognitive. We believe that youth need quality programs that provide supportive learning activities, positive peer and adult interactions, activities that promote confidence and self esteem, as well as opportunities for community participation.
The Creek Enrichment
Homework Support
In our homework areas, The Creek provides computers, textbooks and supplies for homework and projects. We keep up to date with the school curriculum and have on-site tutors to help students with any questions that they may have.
Outside Rec
Everyday we offer a variety of outdoor activities from basketball to scavenger hunts, dodge ball, ping pong, soccer and disc golf. Having access to any array of games outside is a combined focus on overall wellness, health and nutrition.
Community Outreach
Every month we have our students engage in service learning, focusing on an issue affecting their local community. In the past, we have partnered with ARF, Monument Crisis Center, Trinity Center, Meals on Wheels and Oakland Children’s Hospital.
Team Building
Our daily indoor games focus on working together and character building and at the same time … positive friendships. Whether it be while playing a quick game of pool or a large group game of Big Happy Family we help foster problem solving together as they move into their teenage years.
Nutrition
The Creek recognizes that students need adequate, nourishing food in order to grow, learn and maintain good health. Everyday we offer a fulfilling snack for these growing teenagers. Some students favorites include pot stickers and rice, burrito bar, yogurt parfaits and homemade mac and cheese!
Arts
Fun, hands-on and “disguised learning” activities in arts and crafts, gardening, cooking, inventions, drama, and more!
THE CREEK, a Middle School Youth Center, is a private non-profit program welcoming ALL youth in grades 6 through 8.
