Afterschool Antics

Afterschool Antics is a recreational program that promotes personal development, team building, leadership skills, strong values, and independence. Children have the opportunity to participate in a program focusing on social and emotional growth in an atmosphere of fun and friendship.

Afterschool Antics programs are based on the children’s interests, encompassing activities such as crafts, sports, cooperative games, special events, music, and outdoor activities. Children are encouraged to share their interests and program ideas.
