Parkade
Parkade Adventure Club meets at Parkade Elementary School, which is located at 111 Parkade Blvd. The average enrollment at Parkade Adventure Club is 30 children for morning and afternoon sessions. In addition to the Site Facilitator, there are 5 University of Missouri college students employed as Site Assistants.
Parkade Adventure Club meets in the school cafeteria. We also utilize the school's gymnasium on a daily basis. A variety of activities are offered daily, including free time outside, JOLT, which is a structured time when children can work on homework, read, use the laptop and participate in themed educational activities. Parkade's playground is large, with swings, a jungle gym, slides, tunnels, basketball goals, a large soccer field, and other playground equipment.
Children are signed in by a parent/guardian for the morning session and by the Site Facilitator or Site Assistant for the afternoon session. Each child is signed in on an attendance form with the time of arrival and the initials of the adult signing the child in or out. Only authorized adults are allowed to sign a child in or out on any given day.

Parkade Adventure Club is a place where children have fun with their school friends in a safe, learning environment. We offer lots of choices for the children and encourage them to participate in the activities they enjoy. Some favorite choices are: games in the gym, such as Toga and Capture the Flag; any art activities like painting and collages; anything messy (creating play dough, ooblick, gak); and building activities, especially legos and blocks.
