The program also includes basketball, soccer, relay races, painting, bracelet-making, building with clay, story time, puppet shows, and sensory play.

The mission of Thrive Enrichment is to provide a safe and supportive community for children and families to engage in enriching experiences that promote personal growth, creativity and imagination, encouraging learning through exploration and play while creating friendships and memories that last a lifetime. One parent described it as a great place for kids who enjoy independent thinking and making choices, with a variety of activities and special days that can include short trips or visitors such as the sheriff's department and animals. Another parent shared that her child loves it there and that she feels her daughter is getting individualized attention and care, and that Camp Wild Heart is very good for their family. Camp Wild Heart is presented by the Thrive STEAM Enrichment Program, which offers enrichment activities and is not a school nor a childcare, and is described as Chico's premier camp choice for kids, Chico's choice for school break camps, and the only drop-in summer day camp, with self-directed, child-centered summer and school break camps where campers get to choose their own adventures. Registration for summer 2026 is open now.
