An energizing and interactive session that blends physical activity with cognitive skill-building through the exciting sport of stacking.

Along the way, they will develop valuable social-emotional learning (SEL) skills, such as teamwork, communication, and emotional regulation. Whether racing against the clock or collaborating with peers, this session will keep everyone moving, learning, and growing in a fun, supportive environment.
