That's a wrap! Summer 2025 ✔️

The end of summer is such a whirlwind! Being short staffed , kids bouncing with back to school energy, and the constant grind of being open 11 hours a day with anywhere from 60–90 kids all summer long is exhausting.. It’s exhausting, yes… but then someone shows up to pick-up a member, smiles, and tells me how much they appreciate what I do, what we do at the Club. They see how much heart, energy, and time goes into this work. And in that moment, I feel lighter. I feel seen. Those words were the reminder I didn’t know I needed today. 💙
Thank you. - Heather 🥰
