Meet Thomascina (Mrs. Tee), Manager at Travis and Durham After School.

"Hearing the trust parents share with me every day tells me the impact reaches past the students. One parent told me in car line that her son talks about me at home and sees me as a safe space. Even away from Kidventure, I'm treated like extended family."

Favorite holiday to celebrate at After School: Just Because Day. Hobbies: watching college sports and spending time with family.

Fun fact: I'm an Army veteran, and most people guess I'm still in my 20s.

Great people, make great after school.

Camera Day

Before any photo was taken, there was a camera to build.

Earlier this month, our After School students cut and taped construction paper into boxes, then added cardboard tube lenses. Some kept adjusting until it was just right.

The instant photos came after. The paper cameras were the part they were proudest to hold up and use.

We tell our kids to be brave and kind. We put it on posters and say it on the way out the door.

Mike McDonell on how kids actually learn it: by watching us step forward when it's hard. Everyone who stepped forward for his son Michael taught a whole room of people what courage looks like, including Michael's big brother, Peyton. He watched, and then he did it.

Our counselors are trained to sit with a hard moment before trying to fix it. Sometimes the fix is just staying close.

Moving as one team.

This weekend we led a team-building session for , thanks to an invitation from Coach . Teammates walked in sync on wooden boards, some of them blindfolded, and had to listen to each other to keep going.

We’ve been building teams across Texas since 1994, and we’re glad to partner with the Lady Knights.

Independence gets mistaken for being left alone. At Kidventure, it works the other way around.

Campers pass the pieces along and decide who builds what. Each one makes their own design while a counselor sits close by. A camper takes on the climb herself, with adults on the ground nearby.

The adults stay close. The kid does the doing. That's how a kid learns they can handle the next big thing.

What's one thing your child did on their own this week that you almost did for them?
