AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
Empowering Youth Beyond the Classroom
Our 22-week after-school program (Mon-Thurs, 4:00-7:30 PM) provides a holistic approach to youth development, combining elite athletic training, academic support, and social-emotional learning (SEL) for 12-14 year old Boys. With mentorship, nutrition, and college/career exposure, we equip student athletes with the tools to thrive in school, sports, and life.

With themed weeks focused on STEM, career discovery, goal setting, and history, campers hike, engage in interactive lessons, and enjoy exciting field trips—including Charlotte Motor Speedway, iFLY, and a grand finale at the US National Whitewater Center. Every day is an opportunity to grow, learn, and dream big!
