AFTERCARE: Scholarship students are welcome to utilize our aftercare program at no additional charge. We offer aftercare every Holiday and Summer camp day from 3:30-5:30pm. If you would like to make a contribution towards the aftercare fee ($20/day), you will be able to make a payment at pick up with cash, venmo or cashapp.

SCHOLARSHIP TIERS: The largest scholarships (50%–90% discounts) are awarded to students demonstrating the greatest financial need. To allow us to assist as many families as possible, please request only the percentage you need to attend.
