Bridgeway Christian Academy (BCA) is pleased to offer a quality program for students in grades K5 – 8th after the end of the scheduled school day. The purpose of the Lion’s Den is to provide a nurturing environment that includes educational, recreational, and social activities all within a safe, structured environment.

Lion’s Den Activities include:

• Homework lab/study time and assistance, if needed, in the BCA Media Center. Middle School students will participate in the homework lab.
• The opportunity to read and take reading counts quizzes.
• Free play in age-appropriate centers including activities, games, and crafts.
• Supervised playground time and recreational activities to enhance fitness.
