The Creek Updates



The Creek Program
THE CREEK is a non-profit after-school expanded learning program that offers academic support, a variety of enrichment activities, and community engagement for students to learn, socialize, develop new skills, and explore in a safe, fun, and engaging environment.


Homework Support
In our homework areas, The Creek provides computers, homework supplies and supplies for projects. We support students with any homework help they may need and questions that they may have. During the school year we have local high school students that come and volunteer with tutoring.
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 an array of games outside helps students with health, wellness, and concentration.
Community Outreach
Our students engage in service learning. Each month we focus on an issue affecting our 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 team work and character building while fostering positive friendships. Whether during a quick game of pool or a large group game of Big Happy Family, we help encourage our teens to problem solve together.
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. Favorites include burrito bar, yogurt parfaits and homemade mac and cheese!
STEAM
Everyday offers the opportunity for our students to participate in hands-on, “disguised learning” activities such as arts and crafts, science, technology, gardening, cooking, inventing, drama, and more! We believe the arts are an essential element to the all-round well-being of our students.
