Did you know that our Club is dedicated to helping kids develop lifelong healthy habits—while having fun?

We create spaces where youth can develop physical skills, gain confidence, and make healthy choices that stick with them. From gardening to cooking, our programs promote nutrition, fitness, and well-being. Here’s a sneak peek:

Healthy Habits: Kids explore good nutrition, physical activity, and mental well-being. They prepare tasty snacks, learn meal planning, and enjoy fun activities like limbo or art collages!

Teen Cuisine: Teens master kitchen skills in our onsite teaching kitchen while preparing simple, delicious snacks for themselves and their peers. They gain confidence using kitchen equipment safely and discover new recipes every week!

Sports: From age five through high school, kids can participate in basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, flag football, and more. Additionally, we host exciting events that build skills and confidence thanks to partnerships with the Milwaukee Bucks, Badger Region Volleyball, MLB, NFL Alumni Youth Sports Camps, USTA Midwest, and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

Garden Club: Using the Club’s garden bed and through local partnerships with Growing Oshkosh and Casa Esther, kids plant, care for, and cook with fresh produce from raised garden beds—learning firsthand about healthy eating from the ground up!

Whether they’re getting their hands dirty in the garden, discovering a new sport, or whipping up a healthy dish in our kitchen, we help kids cultivate habits that last a lifetime!
