When the weather is bad, children will enjoy a number of indoor activities. Some will travel with our staff to local museums or to other attractions, while others will spend the day indoors learning arts and crafts, drama and much more.
Meals
Children bring lunch from home and have a picnic in the park every day. Oasis refrigerates the lunches, provides plenty of water and serves a morning and afternoon snack.
Staff
The Oasis staff are a big part of our outstanding spirit. We are a mixture of teachers, coaches, college students, and program specialists. Our adult to child ratio is 1 to 5. Each group of 15 children has 2 group leaders. An additional staff person, a specialist, runs each specific activity in which the children participate. A team of Division Leaders act as supervisors and every site has a nurse or EMT as well as a team of certified lifeguards. Oasis senior staff members participate in trainings throughout the year and college undergraduates have the opportunity to take an in-service training course during the summer for which they can receive up to four college credits.
