• Trade Program

  Camp
  · Saturday· Evening· Free

  I don't have enough specific information about the Trade Program's actual activities and curriculum to write an authentic parent-to-friend description. While I can see the program runs on Saturday evenings and is free, the website excerpt doesn't explain what kids actually do in the Trade Program, what skills they learn, or what age groups it's designed for. To write something warm and specific like a local parent would, I'd need details about the program's focus—whether it's teaching trades like carpentry or plumbing, what hands-on projects kids work on, and how it helps them. Without those details, anything I wrote would feel like marketing fluff rather than genuine experience. Could you share more specifics about what the Trade Program actually teaches or what happens during those Saturday evening sessions?

• Summer Camp & Spring Break

What really sets this apart is that it's rooted in honoring Simon's generous spirit—every carrot you grow or butterfly you welcome to the garden is part of building a stronger community together.

• Senior Program

  Camp
  · Saturday· Evening· Free

  I'd love to tell you more about this program, but I'm honestly a bit puzzled by the information I have. The Edna W. Runner Education Center is clearly doing amazing work in West Jupiter—they've been around for over 30 years and are known as this transformative, safe space for kids—but the details about their Senior Program are pretty vague. I can see it runs on Saturday evenings and it's free, which is fantastic, but I'm not getting specifics on what kids actually do during the program or what ages it's really for (the notes say "kids, adults" which seems like it might be a data mix-up?). Before I steer you wrong, I'd definitely recommend reaching out to them directly to ask what the Senior Program involves, who it's designed for, and what your child would experience on those Saturday evenings.

Best of all, it's completely free—no hidden costs or sign-up fees. The Edna W.
