The Story:

OC Next Act emerged organically during the first year of the pandemic when the Czapski Family, its founders, recognized a growing need for social engagement among children. In the summer of 2020, they saw firsthand the isolation and loneliness many kids were experiencing. Determined to make a difference, the family opened their home to provide children in their community with opportunities to participate in enriching activities, including theater, music, physical education, culinary arts, arts and crafts, and more.

What began as casual hangouts quickly evolved into organized programs, which later grew into structured camps, academic classes, and after-school productions. A simple gesture to address a pressing need during a difficult time unexpectedly blossomed into something extraordinary.

By January 2021, OC Next Act was officially born!
