After School Program

After School Program students enjoying a trip to Springdale Farms!

5-day-a-week Center program which runs throughout the school year (2:30 pm – 5:30 pm) for children K-6th grade.  Our aim is to present a variety of activities including Bible study, arts, crafts, praise & worship, sports, reading, field trips and a snack daily.  We provide transportation from a variety of Camden schools and can drop the students off at home after the program.

We aim to provide a safe, structured environment that is a positive alternative to the negative influences on the city streets during the late afternoon hours.  The program is designed to be well-rounded, addressing the spiritual, mental and physical needs of the child. Program goals are that the children will 1) come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, 2) improve academic performance, 3) develop positive social skills and moral understanding and 4) develop physically as they participate in familiar recreational activities and are introduced to new recreational activities.

For the 2011-2012 school year, we are adding full day care for our students on most of the days that school is not in session, and extended program on half days. We will be taking some trips, too! Call for more information!
