And every registration includes a brand-new Babysitters Club book\, because every great babysitter starts with a great story. 📚 \n📚 Grounded in the Books Each session connects to the Babysitters Club books — discussing characters\, storylines\, and the values that make the BSC so beloved: responsibility\, creativity\, friendship\, and showing up for the people who count on you. With three new releases this fall\, there’s never been a better time to be a BSC fan. 🎉 \n🎒 Build Your Very Own Kid Kit One of the BSC’s most iconic tools is the Kid Kit — a box of carefully chosen activities\, games\, and supplies that makes babysitting magic happen. Club members will design and build their very own Kid Kit from scratch\, thinking carefully about what kinds of things belong inside\, who they’re for\, and how to use them like a pro. \n🏅 Earn Your Babysitter Badges Our young babysitters will work toward a series of real skill badges — because great babysitters aren’t just responsible\, they’re prepared. Badges include: \n🔥 Fire Safety Badge — what to do in a fire emergency\, 🍎 Snack Badge — how to prepare safe\, simple snacks and pivot when things don’t go as planned 📞 Dialing 911 Badge — what counts as an emergency\, what to say\, and what to expect 🤔 Judgment Badge — when to handle it yourself vs. when to get an adult 🩹 First Aid Badge — how to dress a cut\, apply a bandage\, and stay calm under pressure 📖 Storytime Badge — how to read aloud to a younger child and keep them engaged 🌙 Bedtime Routine Badge — how to help a child wind down and get ready for bed 🦷 Dental Care Badge — how to brush someone else’s teeth safely\, 🍼 Diaper Badge — the basics of changing a diaper with confidence and care \nEach badge represents a real\, practical skill — the kind that makes families trust you\, kids adore you\, and YOU feel genuinely ready for the job. \n👶 The Real Deal: Practice Session on November 19th On November 19th\, our Babysitters Club members put their skills to the test in a real supervised practice session — caring for younger children while their families enjoy a special evening out. Adult supervision is provided throughout\, of course. This is the moment all those badges have been building toward — and we have a feeling our young babysitters are going to absolutely rise to the occasion. 🌟 \nBabysitters Club members leave the season with their completed Kid Kit\, a full collection of earned badges\, and the kind of confidence that comes from knowing you are truly prepared to care for someone else. 📚💛 \nGrounded in the beloved book series. Celebrating three new BSC releases this fall. Led by certified teachers who believe in building real skills in young people. \nTo register\, please select “afterschool club” and then make sure the calendar is set to the correct month and date (September 10).

Just the right amount of spooky. Not too much\, we promise. 🔍 \nMythbusters Club meets Mondays from 3:30–5:00 PM at High Five Books. Ages 7–10.

Each session takes place at the Florence Civic Center\, where young chefs will work with real tools\, real heat\, and real responsibility to create something their whole family can enjoy that same night. \nThis is not a cooking show.

It is hands-on\, teacher-led\, certified-instruction cooking — where kids learn knife skills\, kitchen safety\, food preparation techniques\, and the deep satisfaction of feeding the people they love most. 💛 \nEach week brings a new meal\, a new skill\, and a new take-home.  \nEvery session campers leave with a take-home meal or kit — ready to finish cooking or serve straight to their family that evening.
