How it works:
Clubhouse staff pick children up immediately after school and escort them to the nearest Park District Center. During the Clubhouse program, children participate in a variety of structured and unstructured activities. Indoor and outdoor learning experiences feature fun recreational activities, such as group games and sporting activities, as well as time to relax, read, do homework, and participate in quiet activities such as arts and crafts and table games. An after school snack will be provided each day.
