📢 IMPORTANT FAIR WEEK REMINDER! 🎡

We know this week’s schedule is a little confusing because Nathan’s Place and the Wolf Building have different schedules. Here’s the easiest way to remember it:

🏠 Nathan’s Place (6th–8th Grade)
➡️ CLOSED Wednesday, Thursday & Friday

🏠 AOK/Wolf Building (K–5th Grade)
➡️ OPEN Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday
➡️ CLOSED Thursday & Friday for the Fair

We’ll be back to our regular schedules next week! ❤️

We hope everyone has a safe, fun time at the fair! 🎠🍿🎡

If you’re ever unsure about which location is open, please reach out to us!

🎉 FIRST DAY OF AFTERSCHOOL! 🎉

And WOW… what a day! We jumped right in with lots of fun, laughter, activities, and getting back into our routine. ❤️

Honestly, the day was so busy and FUN that I barely had time to take pictures! 😂 I finally remembered to pull out my phone during snack, so here’s a little peek at our first day.

We are already looking forward to everything this year has in store! 💙

Welcome back, AOK kids! We’ve missed you! 🥰

☀️🎬 And just like that… summer camp is officially a memory! 🥹💙

School starts MONDAY, and while we’re excited for a new school year, we’re already missing those summer camp days! From the big adventures to the little moments, the laughter, the friendships, the craziness, and everything in between… this summer was one for the books. 🥰

So before we officially turn the page to a new school year, we had to share our Annual AOK Summer Camp Video! 🎥☀️

Pictures. Videos. Lip syncing. A whole lot of personality. And a whole lot of AOK. 😂💙

Thank you to every family who trusted us with your kids this summer. We loved every minute of it, and we’re already counting down until we get to do it all again! 🥹

Press play, turn up the volume, and relive summer with us! ☀️🎶

Update: Our admin phone is still out of order. Please continue to contact us through the methods listed below. We will update here when it is restored.

Temporary Phone Outage

Just a quick heads-up to our AOK families and community:

Our administrative phone line (417-682-6002) will be temporarily out of service Friday and Monday due to a technical issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!

If you need to reach us during this time, please contact us through Facebook Messenger or the Wolf Building phone at 417-681-0559. We expect our regular phone service to be back up and running Tuesday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Reminder that both locations will be closed this next week as we take the time to catch up on required trainings, reorganize, and plan for an amazing after school time! We’ll be around, so if you need something, give us a call (417)-682-6002 or stop by.

💦WATER DAY! ☀️

What better way to wrap up an amazing summer than with a little water day fun?!

Our kids had an absolute blast getting soaked, cooling off, laughing with friends, making one more round of summer memories together.

There were plenty of smiles, splashing, and lots of water! 😆 we were too busy enjoying our frozen treats to get pictures of our shaved ice treats from Shiver Shack!

We’re so thankful for all the fun we’ve been able to share with these kids this summer. They have made this summer one we won’t soon forget.

Stay tuned for our annual summer video next week!

Nathan’s Place will be joining the Wolf Building tomorrow for a few hours for some fun in the sun. We will car pool over around 10:15 and return around 2:00.

08/11/2026

Nathan’s place will be closed for today only due to staffing. We will be open the rest of the week!

Our Last Field Trip of the Summer! 🦋

We had the BEST time at the Butterfly Palace in Branson! Our campers loved seeing the beautiful butterflies up close, exploring, and making memories with their friends.
