Bloomington Youth / SLAM -
Summer 2025 SLAM, Bloomington Youth and Adult Enrichment

Gr. K-5 Give your child the gift of variety this summer at The Variety Pack! Our multi-activity program helps kids discover their talents, build confidence, and develop new skills while having a blast. With a different activity every day, boredom is never an option!

Pack your bags and your imagination! This summer, embark on exciting adventures without ever leaving Bloomington. In "Beyond Our Backyard: Cultural Journeys in Children's Books," young explorers (Grades K-5) will delve into vibrant stories that showcase the rich tapestry of cultures around the world.

Each day, we'll open the pages of captivating children's books, several penned by talented local Black authors, that celebrate unique cultural traditions, mouthwatering foods, joyful songs, and the power of community building. Through engaging crafts and hands-on activities inspired by the stories, kids will bring these faraway worlds to life.

From learning about special celebrations to discovering new ways of connecting with others, this camp promises a week of enriching experiences and heartwarming tales. As a special keepsake, each child will take home at least one of the wonderful books we explore, allowing the cultural journey to continue long after camp ends. Get ready to expand your horizons and discover the beautiful diversity of our world, one story at a time!
