Welcome to SKIESUnlimited, a groundbreaking instructional program initiative. The name SKIESUnlimited combines the acronym for "Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration, & Skills," with the word "Unlimited," for the unlimited learning possibilities this program offers our children.  SKIESUnlimited consists of classes designed to compliment and support the experiences available in other Child and Youth Services (CYS) programs.  Like other CYS programs, our classes are geared for the military family and are convenient and affordable.

SKIESUnlimited encompasses instructional programs for children and youth from infant to teens (3 months - 18 years).  SKIESUnlimited provides the organizational umbrella for all instructional programs in the CYS system.  Children and youth attending the Child Development Centers (CDC), School Age Services (SAS), Middle School and Teen (MS&T), Family Child Care (FCC), Outreach Services (OS) and Homeschool programs will have equal access to opportunities through SKIESUnlimited by expanding their knowledge, becoming inspired, exploring unlimited opportunities and acquiring life skills.

Children and youth participate in instructional programs for a variety of reasons.  To explore a new skill, to pursue and nurture personal interests, to interact socially with others, to build a resume, to bolster a college application or to foster a close relationship with caring, knowledgeable adults outside of home.  The SKIESUnlimited model was formulated with the intent of maximizing the developmental impact on military connected children and youth.  Instructional programs touch every aspect of child and youth development: physical, cognitive, emotional and social.

We value your patronage. With your active participation and feedback our SKIESUnlimited program will continue to expand and improve.

Upcoming classes:  Driver's Education, Bowling, Violin, Viola, Voice, Fiddle, Double Bass and more!
 

All participants must be registered with CYS (CYS registration is FREE).  Classes continue throughout the year; however enrollment is required in person each month. 

If your Sponsor (Soldier/DA Civilian) is deployed, you qualify for one free SKIES class per child per quarter!!  Take advantage of the opportunity!
