Kids at the creative magic camp Brainstar Clubhouse

Every month at the Clubhouse your child will:

Build Confidence

Brainstars learn to overcome fears of being in front of an audience while learning how win an audience over. Your child will gain the confidence to complete challenging tasks that seem impossible and feel more secure around new people.

Develop Social Skills

With coaching, while practicing in small virtual breakout groups, and then presenting to the group – your child will learn new social dynamics that help Brainstars confidently interact and connect with others.

Learn to Focus

Your child will develop new ways to focus while practicing multistep magic and other modes of creative expression that require fine motor skills.

Expand Creativity

Brainstorming and guided visualization adventures are used to help your child harness the power of imagination. New ideas will be collected, chosen for uniqueness, and put in motion!

"What you do really helps the kids. In the past, my daughter was apprehensive about presenting anything in a group setting. She recently had a class presentation and I didn’t have to send a warning email about those fears. She did very well and was very proud of herself."

    – Jennifer Schroeder, Mom

WHAT ARE DISCOVERY GUIDES?

Ben Corey creative magic kids learning

A Brainstar exclusive, Discovery Guides are professional educators that are led by your child's curiosity.  The guides maximize your child's learning by helping explore all of your kid's interests leaving them even more excited about the things they love!

All those questions your kids ask? Discovery Guides become a parent's best friend by fielding those questions for you, so you have time to focus on what you've gotta get done, while your kids join us for Discovery Voyages on their favorite topics.

We Limit How Many Members Can Join Per Month!

What's A Discovery Voyage?

Included in your monthly clubhouse membership, Discovery Voyages opens access to group exploration sessions where Discovery Guides deeply explore a single topic. For example, one day we focus on space travel, another day we'll focus on dinosaurs, and then? Voyages end by leaving your BrainStars with independent activities to continue their own exploration away from the screen. 

JOIN OUR DISCOVERY VOYAGES

EVERY MONDAY & FRIDAY AT 1:00 PM

You've Gotta Focus!

You've got work that can't be interrupted! We've innovated a new way to help keep your kids focused.

Rather than finding a device and dropping your kid onto a game, we've got a new enriching way forward!

How Does It Work?

Club members receive a short survey to collect your kid's interests. A six week schedule is produced based on what Brainstars want to learn.

Guides gather the highest quality, most exciting materials on each topic to share!

Learning happens in a social atmosphere so your kids takeaway new knowledge while also making new friends!

Enjoy a quick activity preview

What do we mean by interactive?


Here is a sneak peak at Streamcore!

The center of the Brainstar Clubhouse.

Two way interactivity happens at StreamCore - our innovative virtual activity theater. Every child, including yours, gets a front row seat and talks back and fourth with the instructors.

We instruct and entertain through the screen in a rapid and inclusive manner with talented coaches from across the country. The direct coaching and interaction is even higher than what's possible
with our live-in-person offerings.

Beyond the fun - we connect creative skills to life!

Social Confidence

While learning how to nail the first impression in the clubhouse, we practice how to master the first social moment when kids return to school.

Increased Focus Skills

Bubbles, magic, and each talent we teach requires careful hand motions and focus to learn. We teach your children the focus process and then how to apply it to sports, school, and more!

Master Math and More

We'll make practice easier by breaking detailed effects into small steps. Your child will learn how the same approach helps master math and other subjects.

Instead of your child's thinking abilities slipping down the summer slide, we hone skills to achieve more success!

The Discovery Clubhouse Will Be An Unforgettable Experience!

In the span of each month, Brainstars will build self-esteem, learn new ways to make close friends, and receive the gifts of creative imagination and problem solving that will enable them to grow in maturity and excel in school. Our goal is to ensure that kids engage in self-discovery and build confidence while having an incredible amount of fun with world class entertainers.

This program is for ages 6 to 11. For age exceptions, please ask!
