School-Age Programs
BHK provides out-of-school-time services through the
Great Explorations program (GE), serving youth in grades
K-12 in area schools. GE strives to advance academic
achievement and healthy development by delivering a
variety of learning experiences to youth.
All programs uphold State of Michigan Child Care
Licensing Rules developed by the Department of Licensing
and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
Baraga County Great Explorations programs operate under
the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant
awarded by the Michigan Department of Education.
Great Explorations Afterschool
Programming
Great Explorations programs establish a safe, enriching
environment where students can explore, grow, and build
relationships. In participating schools, GE operates
four to five days per week afterschool and during the
summer, and is open to all students enrolled in the
hosting school.
Children enrolled in GE
participate in at least four components daily- a healthy
meal or snack, wellness time consisting of outdoor or
recreation activities, academics, and enrichment clubs.
The design of clubs follows the interest of the
participating students and school-day curriculum, and
may include art, science, technology, sports, character
development activities and projects, and excursions to
enhance learning and create opportunities for new
experiences for youth.
Afterschool programs
typically last 36 weeks during the school year, for 2 to
2.5 hours each day. Summer programs typically last 8
weeks, for 9 hours each day. Site locations and hours
vary.
In order to provide
consistent and quality care for all children, once your
child is accepted to the program, payment and weekly
schedules are required prior to attendance. Program cost
may vary from site-to-site. Please contact BHK or the
site coordinator at your school for more information.

Great Explorations summer programs establish a safe,
enriching environment where students can explore, grow,

students revolve around weekly themes with
age-appropriate activities and excursions to enhance
learning.
