Adventure is our classroom! Adventurers Club is a social studies enrichment group that meets at parks, museums, libraries, and historic sites to explore American, Florida, and local history through immersive experiences, storytelling, art, nature, and adventure. Created by Florida educators who believe learning should be active, meaningful, and fun, Adventurers Club invites families to step beyond the classroom through hands-on exploration, creative projects, games, and shared discoveries. Throughout the year, students will journey through Florida’s past together while reading and discussing A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith. Come wander, wonder, + learn with us!
Roots students begin their day with Open Adventure Play (Open Studio) from 11:00AM–12:30PM before joining Adventurers Club activities alongside the Branches group from 12:30PM–2:30PM. Branches students continue their afternoon with Open Adventure Play (Open Studio) and self-directed creative time from 2:30PM–4:00PM.
