After School Program/Youth Center

Now that spring is fully upon us, our OAK hikes can be a little more ambitious. Consider encouraging your child to join us as we spend Tuesday afternoons getting some fresh air in the park. We do more than trudge up hills - outdoor games and  imaginative play are a big part of the fun we have on these excursions. Or maybe ask your child about the Open Art Studio or Kid's Yoga sessions -- with the school year coming to an end these free activities won't be available much longer, so it makes sense to take advantage of them while they're here!

We currently have a few available spaces in our Toddler Program.  Children as young as 18 months are welcome at the Center and our toddler group teachers are wonderful at making these little "Ladybugs" feel safe and secure while parents work.  As always, we provide care from 6:30am to 5:30pm, 51 weeks of the year.  Call (244-9824) or stop by if you would like to learn more about this program.

Another Scamper Camp season is upon us.  We have lots of outdoor fun planned for our campers ~ swimming, hiking, raising Monarch butterflies and gardening, plus museum visits, arts & crafts activities and more.  Check out the summer brochure (link below) for all the details. We have begun to receive registrations in every day's mail and many weeks of Scamper Camp fill up by mid-May, so be sure to register early to avoid being disappointed.  If you have questions, call Mary Ellen at 244-9824.
