Every other Friday is club day at Oasis/Kids Creative! We have 5 clubs: football, dance, chess, basketball, and adventure. The clubs are run by group leaders and instructors and the kids look forward to it every other Friday. On the Fridays when we don't have clubs each group works on their long term group projects. Group A is producing a puppet show that they will film and show at the end of year show. Group B is make a documentary "real world" style of the going ons in their group. Group C is building and filling a time capsule. Group D is making a slide show/ documentary. Finally, the kids of Group E are writing and illustrating a book about their lives.
