DATES & TIMES: First full week of April, Monday - Thursday, 9 AM - 5 PM
COST: The program fee ranges from $75 - $100 per student. Thanks to generous community support, financial assistance is available to families who need help covering the fee. We strive to eliminate cost as a barrier to participation.
MEALS: Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are served daily at no additional charge. Menus will be provided in advance of the program starting. Meals are optional, and students may bring their own food if preferred.
ACTIVITIES: We have an action-packed program in the works! We offer a wide range of activities covering everything from STEM, art, local field trips, and more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How old does a student need to be to enroll in the summer program?
Any student currently in grades K - 5 is welcome to participate.
Why is the after school program offered at no cost, but there is a fee for the spring break program?
All-day programs are very costly to operate. It costs nearly as much to offer one day of our spring break program as it does an entire week of the after school program, when accounting for additional staff hours, food, supplies, and other program expenses. The program fee helps us offset that cost. The Club still covers over two-thirds of the program cost for each student.
We understand that the fee can be a lot for many families. We do not want cost to be a barrier to participation, so if you need help covering the fee, please let us know. We are happy to work with you.
I can't drop off or pick up my student during program hours. What can I do?
Columbia County Public Transportation (CCPT) offers free rides for students. The Club regularly utilizes their services during our programs, and we have found them to be safe and reliable. You can schedule a ride for your student by calling CCPT at (509) 382-1647. CCPT offers service to and from Dayton and Waitsburg.
Is attendance mandatory?
No. All of The Club's programs are voluntary, and may be used as often or as little as needed.
Is The Club a childcare provider?
No. The Club does not provide childcare, nor should our programs be used for that purpose. The Club operates a Youth Recreation Program. As such, students that are overly disruptive and/or aggressive may have their parent/guardian contacted, and in extreme cases, we may send students home for a break. This is not common, though, and we will go to every effort to redirect poor behavior in a more positive direction.
