Kids' Adventure Club

Kids’ Adventure Club (KAC) provides before and after school childcare throughout the school year and during non-school days in the Corning-Painted Post School District’s six elementary school buildings. The KAC program offers a broad range of age-appropriate activities for youth in Kindergarten through age 12 years, and includes a full-day summer program at select school locations. Youth are offered experiences that create opportunities to explore and investigate ideas, nurture positive interactions, and develop connections to the community.

The KAC program is made possible through the collaboration of the Corning-Painted Post School District, Corning Incorporated, and Pathways, Inc.
