Participants in the Life Care program follow the same schedule as single participants without children. Parents are separated from their children during the day while they attend classes and work duties. Parents spend quality time with their children, eat meals together, and sit together during chapel, church services, and other events. All parents share the role in attending to all of the children on campus.
Children attend A Beka® Academy on campus during the day. Field trips and family events are scheduled. Past events have included science fairs, circuses, Sea World®, and family days at the beach.
