Enrichment

Our commitment to students goes well beyond the school day.

After School Enrichment

Blaine PTA offers a wide variety of enriching extracurricular classes and activities for our students. From engineering with legos, to learning Spanish, to chess club, there is sure to be something for every student!

Scholarships are available! During the registration process, families can simply select 50% or 100% scholarships. There are no eligibility criteria or documentation needed to request or be awarded a scholarship. If 100% is selected, no further action is required. If 50% is selected, families should choose to “pay by check.” You’ll then be contacted to pay the difference.

Fall Session

October 14-December 16

Monday

  • Learn to be a Dungeon Master and forge your own adventure! In this inclusive camp about creative storytelling, kids won't just be playing D&D as adventurers; they will build magical worlds, draw amazing maps, and weave fantastic stories. Campers will use craft materials to bring their campaigns to life, practice improv techniques, and learn the rules of D&D so that they can lead their own adventures. Then, working in groups, we will create characters and take turns running games for each other. At the end of the course, kids will take home custom adventure kits to share with friends and family!

  • Embark on a journey into the realm of imagination this season with a range of exciting projects, from spooky silhouettes and 3D Picasso faces to clay monsters and Tim Burton-inspired portraits. Explore the rich culture of Mexico, master figure drawing, and delve into the fundamentals of one-point perspective. Join us for a fun and educational artistic adventure!

  • In this program children learn foundational science and find out how STEM is at work in the world around them! They will learn about the animal kingdom, both on land and under the sea, make mixtures, explore the science of motion and energy, and discover the technology that powers our modern world. Weekly topics include All About Animals, Energy Burst!, Get Connected, Life in the Sea, Mix It Up, Moving Motion, Radical Robots, and Super Power Sources. At the end of every class, participants will take home an educational toy that extends the learning experience!

  • Would your child like to join friends for an organized, active game led by one of our experienced counselors? Would they prefer to play an indoor board game or a card game? How about solo time to color or work on homework? Maybe they need some less structured free time on the playground or field (rain or shine!) after school to burn off excess energy and engage in

    free play. We offer all of those options! Choose Your Own Adventure allows each child to recharge after school in their own way, without screens and with proper supervision.

Wednesday

  • Using nature as our inspiration this fall term: think plants, animals, seasons, and bugs! Each week we will focus on a new nature item to inspire our creativity and make fun and creative crafts to take home and enjoy. We will use upcycled, donated and thrifted material each week so bring your creativity, your best cutting and gluing skills and of course a willingness to have fun with CraftLab Seattle!

  • Get ready for an adventurous journey in Social Awareness, Relationships, and Responsible Decision-Making Skills. The Kong Academy program empowers kids physically, socially, and emotionally through: play, games, and parkour-based movement.

    Join us as your kids unlock their social superpowers through fitness-focused games and movement-based adventures. They'll dive into a world of teamwork, navigating challenges that foster social awareness and build positive relationships.

  • By providing lessons for children to trade and learn how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game, your children will learn how to contextualize their reading and math skills, long-term strategic thinking and planning, how to make fair and equitable trades, and how to be a kind and sportsmanlike competitor. Our certified Pokémon Professors will provide decks for children to play with (all levels of play), among - other materials, teaching materials and educational games (Pokécatch, Attach and Attack, Raid Battles, etc.), and high-quality lessons/presentations on how to play Pokémon TCG.
