Afterschool
This school-age program offers an enriching environment with fun activities, specially designed to enhance the development and self-esteem of school age children. The program is structured to address the interests and development levels of children in kindergarten through 5th grade. Our Y program is based on choice so children gain independence and have the freedom to learn more about what interests them. For more information call 843.665.0226.

Program activities include: Brain teasers, cool science experiments, games, puzzles, computer challenges and writing...a great place to work on homework, too! The hands-on activities are based on enriching academic programs, educationally based in thematic units, and fun to do! Homework time is a scheduled part of our daily schedule. While we offer guidance and assistance to children, we cannot provide independent tutoring needs. Plenty of activities to burn off steam, shoot some hoops, swim all year, play a game with friends or just challenging themselves to do their personal best. Opportunities to perform plays, play musical instruments, sing, dance and express themselves in a variety of creative ways for young artists, architects and other expressive, creative minds. There's painting, crafts, building materials and more! There's also opportunity to spend quiet time or catch up with friends. It's the next best thing to being at home.
