TSL Adventures was established in 2008 by College of Saint Rose alumni’s and full time elementary school teachers who envisioned a program that could fill the summer gap and provide a unique recreational environment that also contributed to a child’s cognitive and social-emotional development. Their primary mission was to bring a team of educators together in order to host a professional, yet fun and exciting summer program rooted in the philosophies of cooperation and interactive play. The partners soon learned after obtaining a contractual agreement with a local, private school that this mission translated into the before and after school setting as well. Redefining childcare year round soon became the group’s mission.
