Anchor Kids started in 2019 in Des Moines, Iowa. Dillon grew up there on the South side of town and went to all Des Moines Public Schools.

We partner with schools and school districts to provide programming built on The 5 Pillars of Health for Kids™️: Fitness, Nutrition, Seeds2Snacks, Mindfulness, Sport/Activity.

Primarily in the after-school setting, Anchor Kids meets with each site one, two, or three times per week throughout the semester or school year for 1hr at a time providing instruction and interactive lessons on each of the 5 Pillars.

Programming can be all 5 Pillars or any combination of them based upon school site needs for programming.

We also partner with local school districts to provide an even more in-depth experience for summer camps. All summer camps are hosted by community school districts and are open-enrollment to all students 1st-5th grade. Registrations are hosted by school districts, but guidance for getting your students enrolled will be put out on our social media outlets, so be sure to follow Anchor Kids on Facebook AND Instagram for more information!
