Afterschool at the Y

The JEEP ROGERS Family YMCA offers an afterschool program that is far from ordinary! Emphasizing our Christian mission, the Y engages students in a variety of ways – see why we are so different!

Tracks
Tracks are activity choices that students can choose from each day. Each day offers active tracks, creative tracks and a hodge podge track. Of course, homework assistance is offered as a track each day. Tracks run for 45-minute segments and students can choose up to two tracks per day!

Choice
We believe in the power of choice. Students get to choose each day what activities or tracks they participate in. We believe that allowing students to choose what they do each day helps build a student’s understanding of making positive choices and also ensures that all students are participating and engaged in that activity. After all, they chose it for themselves!

Activities
Active tracks are just that, ACTIVE! Sports, games, contests, challenges and group exercise classes – whatever moves you.

Creative tracks incorporate the best of being creative. Arts and crafts, drama, dance, singing, skits and more help your student keep those creative juices flowing even after school is out.

Hodge Podge is a little bit of everything! Swimming, Games, Beyblades, indoor playground,  you name it. If it’s fun, it falls into this group of tracks!

Homework is offered during  the day. Our staff are prepared to ensure your student gets as much of their homework finished as possible so that when they go home, it’s family time.  Homework is an optional track, so if your student doesn’t have homework or if you prefer to do it at home, it’s no problem!

The Difference
What makes the Y afterschool programs so different from any other program? Tracks, Choice and Activities are just the beginning. Everyone LOVES CAMP! Just because school has started back doesn’t mean the fun should end. WE ARE NOT A DAY CARE! WE RUN DAY CAMP DURING AFTER SCHOOL HOURS! That means we don’t just sit in a room and watch TV. We move, we play, we engage students to be active, be creative and have fun! Also, don’t forget, unlike most programs, our program doesn’t close when school is out. We offer all day camp at no additional charge*. Where else can you find all of this? Only at the Y!
