l.E.A.D. (leadership, Environmental, Academic, Development)Program hours: 6:45 am to start of school • School dismissal to 6:00 pm

Fee: $225/monthThe goal of this after school program is to empower youth to make an impact on their community, build and maintain relationships with peers and adults, and express tolerance and respect for their culture and the culture of others. The program is run in a way that enables all participants to become experienced at setting goals, explore future career paths, and learn skills that will equip them for future employment, including technological skills.

All teens will have access to homework assistance as well as the necessary materials, including computers, to assist them in their academic success. In addition, the mission is to develop a teen’s capacity to choose positive behaviors that will nurture their own well-being, establish good character and positive self-image, and set personal life goals. The Teen Club encourages youth to hone their creativity through advanced crafts, participate in their local community by visiting the Animal Shelter and Senior Center, and build relationships through teambuilding activities of all kinds.

Teens are coached in life skills that include cooking, nutrition, fitness, interpersonal and social skills, a foundation in finances, while focusing on having a positive, respectful attitude. There are many unique opportunities to practice the skills they are acquiring in the form of excursions to escape rooms, large group activities like mini golf and Ga-ga Ball, and guest speakers from as close as Oak Park and as far as Costa Rica. At their core, activities promote fitness, the positive use of leisure time, stress management skills, and appreciation for a healthy lifestyle. All activities are supervised by RSRPD staff.

SCHOOl OF ROCK mUSIC SUmmER CAmP Ages 6-9

Everyone deserves to feel like a Rock Star! School of Rock is the pioneer and national leader in performance based music education. We believe that playing music together is the most effective path to mastering an instru-ment and developing a true love for music. We take students of all ages from the lesson room to the stage, developing both their confidence and musicianship with programs designed for every skill level. Our Rookies Program offers a gateway to understanding music for young rockers, using proprietary set-ups for guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. With exercises, tools and games customized to their age group, students learn the concepts of music theory, rhythm, pitch, form and dynamics as they play alongside their friends. We explore all the instruments - including vocals - so they begin to understand how individual contributions form a band. We conclude the week with a mini performance for family and friends, with the sincere hope our students become passionate about an instrument and continue their journey with School of Rock.
