☀️ Summer Fun with Beyond BASIC Mount Pleasant! 🎬🍿

Our Mount Pleasant Team has been making the most of July, and we just completed our third summer field trip!

Our Teammates worked together to choose a movie, and the winning pick was Animal Farm. We grabbed plenty of popcorn, drinks, and snacks and practically had the entire theater to ourselves! There were lots of laughs, smiles, and fun as we enjoyed the movie together.

Afterward, we headed back to Beyond BASIC to talk about what we liked, what we didn’t like, work out, and enjoy lunch together. Then, we finished the day doing one of our favorite things: volunteering with Seacoast Kids! 💜

Follow along to see where our Mount Pleasant Team heads next Monday! 👀

An EPIC night was had!! 🇺🇸🎉

We recently had our USA Cookout, and man, was it a good night! From the food to the fellowship, it was such a fun evening spent together with our community.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who helped make this event happen — we are so grateful for each of you!

And a HUGE thank you to our friends at @kingdomchurch_sc for blessing us in such a big way! They brought the most incredible grill and cooked up burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob, while also providing chips, cookies, and popsicles for everyone to enjoy. 🌭🍪🍧

☀️Summer Camp Week 4 Recap – Teens & Junior Campers! ☀️

Our final week of summer camp came and went far too quickly, and we were so sad to see it end. This week was a beautiful reminder of how important the Beyond BASIC Junior Program is—giving our teens the opportunity to build essential life skills, grow in confidence, and form meaningful friendships.

Each morning, we wrapped up our sessions with Miss Laura from Palmetto Music Therapy. This is always the best way to get the day started!

📖 This week, our campers proudly presented their social stories, working together in teams using story cubes to create imaginative adventures. We had stories about traveling to space and building rockets, baking the largest pizza in the world at a country music festival, relaxing in a purple world filled with disco balls, flying on airplanes, creating incredible LEGO sculptures, and even hanging out at restaurants with giant trampolines. The creativity and teamwork were truly amazing to watch!

🌳 We visited one of our favorite places, Ashley River Park, where we learned all about different types of owls and birds of prey. We explored the park, observing and identifying birds while enjoying the outdoors. We had the best time with Mrs. Reeves and the entire Ashley River Park team—we truly love our parks!

🚒 We wrapped up the week with an exciting trip to the library and a surprise visit from the Summerville Fire Department. Campers learned all about the fire truck, including how long the hose is, how quickly water can be deployed, and why it’s so important to never block a fire hydrant. Everyone had a blast getting to sit inside the fire truck!

As we close out this incredible summer, we want to thank everyone who supported our Summer Junior Program. A huge thank you to our amazing teachers and counselors who made this program such a success. We loved meeting all of our new campers and can’t wait to see everyone again - hopefully soon in our future after-school program as we continue to grow and support our teens.
