Programs at Open Connections

Girls dressing up

Each OC program meets once a week. Most programs are full-day from 9:15 to 2:15 (or 4:00). Our after-program programs are from 2:30-4:00.  Programs run from mid-September to early June and cover a wide range of interests and formats.  They serve young people from age four through high school.

Each program reflects the basic values of OC and is un-graded, partially-to-totally youth-directed and hands-on.  Each is committed to inquisitiveness, innovation and collaboration.
