The BLOCK
A transportation system for your child that is safe, secure, and controlled by you. Simply register your child, answer some brief questions about when and where your child needs to be picked up.
Here's how it works. You or your child calls the BLOCK. A pick up time is given, staff arrive at your door, pick up your child, and check them in at one of our facilities. The same van will return your child to your door.
The service will be available Mon-Thurs, 4:30 - 8:30 p.m., and until 10:30 p.m. on Fridays, (after BLOCK events). The service will also be available around other special events held at the BLOCK. This service will not be available on days when school is not is session.
A private Lock-In just for you and your group. We'll provide 2 hours of swimming and gym time at the Summit, followed by pizza, pop and snacks, plus a night and early morning filled with more activity at the BLOCK than any kid could handle! We provide all of the staffing, (1:6 ratio of staff to student), food, and entertainment for 10 hours of activity for your group of 12 or more, with a limit of 30. The cost is $28.99 per child and includes everything, even breakfast! Reservations must be made a minimum of two weeks in advance.
