CHOICES/STAR 2026 Summer Park Days

STAR Academy families have planned a series of casual summer park meetups across the Twin Cities metro area — and MCGT families are warmly invited to join!

All hangouts start at 1:00 PM and typically last a couple of hours. Bring your own refreshments and activities and just show up — look for a group of friendly faces!

You are also welcome to simply listen. This is not a formal presentation space, but rather a setting for thoughtful sharing and attentive listening.
