Mondays: 3-weeks After School Program

LyonHeart 3135 West 22nd St., Kearney, NE, United States

This afterschool adventure is a place where kids grow their minds and hearts with the help of horses—no riding required! Each week, we focus on a different skill: hands-on math activities measuring horses and mapping out an obstacle course, reading brought to life through horse-themed stories and scavenger hunts, and life skills like teamwork, responsibility, and communication. Students will partner with our horses while discovering how academics connect to the real world. It’s a one-of-a-kind way to finish the school day—full of laughter, learning, and a whole lot of fun.
