Engaging, exciting, and fun experiences for children, their parents, grandparents, and friends. It is called Ageless Adventures!
Crafted and hosted by Master the Possibilities, every year, children, ages four through 12, from all over Florida, anxiously look forward to participating and often want to sign up a year in advance. Caren Francis and her team of volunteers are responsible for putting together challenging and rewarding learning experiences.
And if the week of July 7th was any example of their creativity and genius, the “team” had exceeded its goals. Caren told us that they were happy to see that not only did the children quickly get into the learning programs, but many of the grandparents and minders also participated.
This year, the one-week program took the children to Sholom Park to study wilderness with Amanda Marek from the University of Florida. Back to Master the Possibilities, classrooms filled up. Children were fascinated watching Jim Di Paolo demonstrate how robotics work — then they had a chance to operate a robotic dump truck and also learned how robotics is becoming a useful tool for everyday human activities. Children also learned how to paint a gnome, swing a golf club, fly a remote-controlled plane, and, in a very popular class, how to launch a rocket. Trish Perry had a great time hosting a class in which students designed hors d’oeuvres. There were also tea parties, as well as dance classes at The Ranch Fitness Center & Spa.
The week of fun and learning, like all good things, had to come to a close. But Master the Possibilities closed out the Ageless Adventures week with a bang — a fun carnival at Cypress Hall. Games, prizes, and snacks were the order of the day. It was a fitting extravaganza for all the children and their “minders” who had put so much of themselves into a week of learning adventures.
