Program Options

Establishing School Culture & Building Connection with Classmates

Create a culture of community, trust and bonding where classmates are invested in the group as a whole, not just in themselves. This program is great for back-to-school team building.

Emotional Intelligence

Research shows that when students are in an environment where they have developed emotional literacy, they see higher engagement levels, better classroom leadership and organization, less bullying, higher academic achievement, and stronger interpersonal relationships. Students will develop a stronger, more understanding relationship with the emotions of themselves and others.

Growing Together

This fun and engaging program combines garden-themed team challenges, trivia and brain bender puzzles with building gardens to provide healthy foods. Students will build their own gardens at home learning about healthy food choices and gardening education with our master gardener. Home garden kits are delivered in advance.

Physical Education – Dance It Out

Unlike other classes, this experience will have students up and moving at home while learning more about popular dance styles and movements!

Learn Fun Choreography with 3XT

Feel like a star right where you are. Train with Ferly Prado and Alex Kaye, back up dancers for many stars like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Usher, Rihanna. Ferly and Alex create a safe and fun-filled environment where participants let loose while learning to take control and ownership of their bodies, resulting in more confidence and more respect to self and others. Participants learn 3XT choreographed routines as well as routines the ladies have performed next to music’s biggest stars.The mission is to allow dance to do its magic in one’s life while showing them exactly what they are capable of. Everyone is a star in their own right!

Trend Setters

Set the trends, be original. Learn what makes popular dance trends work and learn the skills to make up your own! Half of the class is dedicated to learning dance steps to increase one’s dance vocabulary. The other half we break down what it takes to choreograph a short dance. We talk about music choices, musicality, messaging, energy transmission, and dancing in frame. Creativity is unleashed!

The Virtual Escape Mission

This team-building program is a classic take on the fun, exciting, and challenging Escape Room phenomenon, and is great for all ages and abilities (and families too). Teams will be tasked with unlocking challenges from clues in the room and the timer is on to escape! Our Emcee will brief all participants at the start and pop into each Zoom breakout room to offer up clues and encouragement. To conclude the program, we’ll bring all participants back together to debrief and announce the winners!

Foundational Principals of Investing with Magic

This program distills decades of scientific research and data-driven insights into bite-sized, easily digestible “rules” that can help young investors gain confidence and clarity in establishing their financial strategy. Our professional magician Theron will share ideas for talking about these foundational topics and investment principals using magic in ways that will surprise even the most seasoned investors and professionals.

Theron brings a unique twist to his performances combining a successful speaking career in the financial services industry and as a performing magician. Self-taught and performing for over 25 years, Theron holds several first-place awards for his craft. Theron also produces one of the magic industry’s top education conferences for performers looking to take their skills to the next level.

Race registration and individual fundraising are coordinated through our online registration platform. Prior to the race, participants will be provided a ZOOM link for the large-group race kickoff. Once the race begins you will be invited into exclusive team chat rooms to socialize with your class while on your course.

Game Show Night

Groups are divided into teams and are guided through the game show by our Emcee. Each team must work together, strategize and test their knowledge.
