How EA Started |
While in college at Western Washington University, Meg worked for the Ferndale and Bellingham Boys & Girls Clubs, where she gained an appreciation and passion for before and after school care. She couldn't get enough of the positive affect on the communities that were reflected in the happy and safe families attending these programs, and she graduated with a BA in Human Services, specializing in school-age program management. Upon graduation Meg returned to Enumclaw and ran multiple before and after school programs for the Salvation Army and YMCA. Meg began planning to someday open her own program, and thanks to Cedar River Academy, the perfect opportunity presented itself in 2012. Within two weeks Meg opened her dream business, Enumclaw Adventures! In 2019, we opened a satellite location at Black Diamond Elementary school.

What Sets
|
At Enumclaw Adventures (EA), we place a high value on child-led activities. The kids vote on certain games and activities each day, and when kids reach 5th grade they are promoted to "Junior staff," where they learn how to orient new friends, teach and lead new games, and assist other students during homework and free time.
We have a designated 30-minute homework time after school Monday - Thursday. The kids can finish their homework here at EA, get their reading logs done, or we provide worksheets for practicing skills they are learning in school. Kids earn Be-Great-Bucks for doing their part each day, learn good spending and saving skills, and can "purchase" lots of rewarding options in our Be-Great-Store. We believe that being active is not only fun for kids, it's a great thing to encourage. In addition to wrapping up the homework from the school-day, we play active games and burn some energy every day. In addition to a huge 3+ acre fenced outdoor area, we're blessed to have access to a full-size gym that allows kids to be kids year-round. On non-school days and some early-release days, we hop on the bus and go to exciting field trips! Examples include:
