Afterschool and Summer Clubs
“This program is absolutely amazing. We are new to town and he comes home very single time so excited and more talkative than usual to share all about his adventures.”
“I am so grateful for Megan all she is teaching our kids. They have gained confidence and skills in so many areas of her life.”
“Thank you Megan for all you do and showing the girls to stand up for themselves and be such a great example in their lives.”
“He started taking a different way between 2 places and I was wondering why, but then I got it that it was the club and the wayfinding he’s learning. He is more confident now.”
This club is equal parts choose-your-own-adventure, walking and biking safety lessons, wayfinding and neighborhood mental mapping and having fun!

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
Students will have fun taking walks (skateboarding optional) or bike rides to their favorite places around Hood River with a musical soundtrack of their own choosing. They will help plan the route, ride or walk to the destination and receive a treat or gift card from local businesses they visit. Along the way, we will learn the laws and etiquette for walking and biking and how to navigate or avoid tricky intersections. They will also learn to have a sense of direction and the safest routes for getting around town. We will map out their home, the school, friend’s houses and major landmarks.
