Today marks the last week of operations at our Sunset Early Learning Center.

Since opening our doors at Sunset in 2020, it has been a place where kids have learned, played, and grown together. We’re grateful for all the memories made and for the families and staff who made Sunset such a special part of our Early Learning program.

As we close this chapter, we’re looking forward to bringing our Early Learning operations together at Frontiers, where we can continue investing in high-quality learning experiences for the kids we serve.

----------------------------------

Esta es la última semana de operaciones en nuestro Sunset Early Learning Center.

Desde que abrimos las puertas en Sunset en 2020, ha sido un lugar donde los niños han aprendido, jugado y crecido juntos. Estamos muy agradecidos por todos los recuerdos y por las familias y el personal que hicieron de Sunset una parte tan especial de nuestro programa de Educación Temprana.

Al cerrar este capítulo, nos da mucho gusto reunir nuestras operaciones de Educación Temprana en Frontiers, donde podremos seguir invirtiendo en experiencias de aprendizaje de alta calidad para los niños a los que servimos.

We blinked, and just like that, summer camp is over.

Now we’re looking back at all the fun experiences our campers had this summer, from exploring future careers as firefighters or athletes to trying something for the first time that sparks an interest.

These experiences give kids the chance to explore, get curious and build confidence outside their usual routines. They may seem like small moments, but they can help kids discover their passions, build confidence and make connections that stick with them beyond the summer.

We’re excited to see what our Club kids get into this school year. Learn more about our work at https://whatcomclubs.org/

--------------------------------------

Parpadeamos y, así de rápido, el campamento de verano se acabó. Ahora estamos recordando todas las experiencias divertidas que tuvieron nuestros campistas este verano.

Ahora estamos recordando todas las divertidas experiencias que tuvieron nuestros camperos este verano, desde explorar futuras carreras como bomberos o atletas, hasta intentar algo por primera vez que despierta un nuevo interés.

Estas experiencias les dan a los niños la oportunidad de explorar, tener curiosidad y ganar confianza fuera de su rutina diaria. Pueden parecer momentos pequeños, pero ayudan a que los niños descubran sus pasiones, desarrollen seguridad en sí mismos y formen conexiones que se quedan con ellos más allá del verano.

Estamos muy emocionados de ver en qué se van a enfocar nuestros niños del Club este año escolar. Conozca más sobre nuestro trabajo en https://whatcomclubs.org/

⚾️ The Bellingham Bells became Club Kids for the day!

Bells players spent an afternoon answering questions and playing games with our summer campers. Club members enjoyed a meal thanks to Panda Express, got to know the players, and learned what it means to be a Bell. The afternoon was full of great questions, laughter, and inspiration.

Thank you, Bellingham Bells, for being great role models and showing our Club Kids what’s possible when you find something you love and go for it!

-------------------------------------

⚾️ ¡Los Bellingham Bells se convirtieron en chicos del Club por un día!

Los jugadores de los Bells pasaron una tarde respondiendo preguntas y jugando con nuestros niños del campamento de verano. Los miembros del Club disfrutaron de una comida gracias a Panda Express, conocieron a los jugadores y aprendieron lo que significa ser un Bell. La tarde estuvo llena de excelentes preguntas, risas e inspiración.

¡Gracias, Bellingham Bells, por ser excelentes modelos a seguir y mostrarles a nuestros chicos del Club lo que es posible cuando encuentras algo que te apasiona y vas por ello!

Animals as Natural Therapy visits the Ferndale Clubhouse!

Kids got to feed and hold chickens, pet bunnies, hug a mule, and brush goats. For many, it was their very first time interacting with these animals.

Thank you to Animals as Natural Therapy for sharing the joy, comfort, and connection that animals bring with our Club youth!

---------------------------------------

¡Animals as Natural Therapy visitó el Ferndale Clubhouse!

Los niños pudieron alimentar, sostener gallinas, acariciar conejos, abrazar una mula y cepillar chivas. Para muchos, fue la primera vez que interactuaban con estos animales.

¡Muchas gracias a Animals as Natural Therapy por compartir la alegría, el consuelo y la conexión que brindan los animales con los jóvenes de nuestro Club!
