TCC's Walking Club

Children at Pine Street Elementary are given the choice to walk the 1/2 mile back to Trinity with a teacher or to ride the bus. Children leave their bookbags on the bus. The children that choose to participate enjoy having a little fresh air and exercise as they socialize with friends before homework time.  At the end of the year there is a party for everyone that walks at least 5 miles and there are prizes for children that walk even further.  Many children will have walked between 30 and 60 miles by the end of the school year.

During the pandemic, all children that attend Pine Street Elementary put their bookbags on the bus and walk to Trinity, weather permitting.

Homework

Homework is an important aspect of Trinity's After School Care program.  Children are divided into to small homework groups Monday-Thursday.  Children are given between 20 minutes to an hour to complete their homework depending on their age group.  Group leaders will help explain directions, answer questions and check homework.  Children are expected to have their homework checked and then they can play quietly until homework time is finished.  All children are allowed to go play when the allotted homework time is over.

TCC's Running Club

              

Trinity Children's Center's weekly running club is open to children in K-5 through 5th grade. In order to be a member children must commit to do their best, dress appropriately and they must support the other runners. The club rotates between running in Converse Heights, the Cottonwood Trail, the Rail Trail and playing running games. 

During the pandemic, the Running Club has been put on hold in order to avoid mixing "family groups". Hopefully, Running Club will resume for the 2021-2022 School Year.

Summer Camp

Trinity's Summer Camp program is offers a wide variety of fun activities while encouraging all aspects of the children's development. Every aspect of the day is planned, to include a variety of different types of activities at varying activity levels throughout the day including time for free play and time to "Read and Rest". Activities at the church include art, sports, active games, classroom games, music, chapel etc. On a typical week (not including theme weeks), children will go to the movies, go swimming twice, deliver Mobile Meals and go on a "big" field trip to places like the Kid Senses Museum, Fishing, Croft State Park (fishing, hiking, wading), Lake Lure (fishing), Cottonwood Trail (biking, hiking or wading), Paris Mountain State Park, Table Rock State Park, Skating, Bowling, Ice Skating at the Greenville Pavillion, Pump-It-Up, Greenville Zoo etc. The program aims to teach children to put spiritual principles in action through a number of different mission projects such as: making gifts for nursing homes and children's homes, singing at nursing homes, delivering Mobile Meals each week, fundraisers such as a car wash or lemonaid/cookie stand to raise money for a charity of the children's choice, collecting food, school supplies or other items to donate, and making sympathy and get well cards. There are also a number of theme days and theme weeks that vary from summer to summer. Some examples of theme days include Super Hero Day, Minute to Win It Challenge Day, Christmas in July, Fear Factor Day, Music Madness etc. Some examples of theme weeks include Bike Week, Sports Camp Week, Vacation Bible School Week etc. 

Summer Camp may look at lot different during the pandemic, as we must put the health and safety of the children first which may seriously limit our ability to go on longer or indoor field trips. However, the TCC staff is committed to creating a fun, stimulating and varied camp experience, while following pandemic safety policies, so summer camp will be AWESOME!
