Boy/Girl Scouts 

Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School has an established and active scouting program.  From Daisies and Tigers to Junior Girl Scouts and Webelos II we include all age groups.  The Scouts provide community service and offer leadership opportunities for their participants.  The Boy Scout Pinewood Derby is held here each year and is a premier community event.

Decisions have consequences - some which are known immediately while others lie far ahead.  What better place to learn that truth than on the chessboard with Laker friends as opponents?  Students in Gr. 1-5 learn different strategies as they play against each other.  And about those decisions...they incite reactions that require responses, i.e. more decisions, making chess not only a forward, backward and lateral game but also a full circle. 

The Citadel Dance & Music Center is partnering with Lake Michigan Catholic Schools to offer 4th – 9th graders cello, violin, viola and piano lessons after school.  Piano lessons are offered at the school, and Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School will provide transportation to the Citadel twice weekly for the strings program.

Each year students have an opportunity to participate in a school-wide drama production.  K-5th grade students are involved in every aspect of the production, aided by 5th - 23th grade drama students. 

Girls on the Run is a nationally acclaimed girls-only self-esteem building program.  Our local United Way sponsors this program for girls in our county grades 3-5.  The program consists of 26 lessons that incorporate physical activity and self-image building, and culminates in a county-wide 5K run.

For our youngest artists we offer an after school art program called Kid Picassos.  A local artist comes in for an eight-week program.  They study and create art using varied techniques and media.

Elementary students learn about technology in the STREAM room, focusing on the world of robotics.

Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School Trekking club, under the supervision of 4th-grade teacher Mrs. Nina Binger, learns from observing and interacting with nature.  In the fall and spring, a group of third, fourth and fifth graders trek in Knauff Park, which is located directly behind the school, every Monday weather permitting.
