Crystal Challenges®

Our Programs

Beneficial afterschool and summer programs for ages 5 and up, taught by experienced, certified teachers in small groups.

School year

After School

Our afternoon starts with snack time and recess to unwind after the long school day. From there, the choice of reading or puzzles to earn tickets to buy prizes and then a class game that reinforces academic skills. Centers and homework time are available daily.

Pickup from three schools

We collect students directly from Deer Creek, Cypress and Westside Elementaries.

Tickets to Buy Prizes

Jigsaw, logic, or deductive reasoning puzzles, reading, and optional Bible memory verses, are just some of the many options available to earn tickets — motivation they can hold and spend.

Academics through games

Concepts get reinforced in game format, so review feels like recess.

Homework Support

Help is close by from a certified, experienced elementary school teacher.

We pick up directly from

Three Cedar Park elementary schools:

  • Deer Creek Elementary
  • Cypress Elementary
  • Westside Elementary

Summer Camp

Diverse field trips and activities for all interests! Plus the invaluable advantages of routine, consistent rules and expectations, favorite teachers, and familiar friends!

Three field trips a week

New places, familiar friends, and two teachers who know exactly how to count heads.

Weekly Swimming

A standing swim day every week, at a nearby pool with amazing lifeguards, and a diving board pool as our finale swim day. Non-swimmers must wear a pfd.

Daily Math and Reading

Students take pride in leveling up and getting ahead during the summer (instead of falling behind!) with daily fun flashcards that earn tickets to buy prizes.

Additional Fun Activities

Treasure and scavenger hunts, art, face painting, egg drop, science day, baking cookies, cup castles — the fun never ends!
