Enriching and Engaging Spring Intersession

Over 100 students had a truly enriching and engaging week during the Spring Intersession, a successful collaboration between Spring Forward and RIMSD from March 23rd to 27th. The week was packed with hands-on activities that kept all participants excited and active.

Highlights included a Soccer Skills Camp, run in partnership with Rock Island Parks and Recreation, which helped build teamwork and friendly competition, as well as Beginner Swim Lessons focused on gaining water confidence. 

For creative expression, a new program offering, "ComedySportz Kids Camp," introduced students to improv comedy, boosting their creativity, quick thinking, and overall confidence.

Critical thinking and problem-solving were central to STEAM Discovery Days, with students engaging in interactive activities alongside partners such as Nahant Marsh, The Putnam Museum and Science Center, Ballet Quad Cities, and the Figge Art Museum.

By the end of the session, students had developed new skills, built friendships, and gained the confidence to try new things, making the Intersession a well-rounded success that supported both personal growth and learning.
