After-School Programs

BRINGING A SENSE OF ADVENTURE TO YOUR AFTER-SCHOOL LINE-UP!

We provide continuously updated and original activities throughout each session and season. On any given day, we will be able to hike 1-2 miles, within the areas of Central Park nearest to your child's school. This affords ample opportunities to...

discover interesting rocks, bridges, water bodies, wooded areas, fields and even waterfalls!
learn about areas of the park they never knew existed.
uncover park secrets - often things that many New Yorkers do not even know.
spot statues like Still Hunt and structures such as the Bow Bridge.
study a few edible plants.
memorize various types of birds and trees.

Explorers are expected to arrive with a positive attitude, a desire to have fun and be ready to adjust to new settings and situations. Full participation is encouraged and we will provide a safe emotional and physical climate so that it feels OK to try new things. However, we will never ask anyone to do anything that he or she is uncomfortable doing. In addition;

Children are continuously supervised.
The staff-to-child ratio is 1-to-7.
We teach Leave No Trace, which promotes responsible outdoor recreation. We are conscientious to at least leave the park the way we find it, minimize our impact, respect all wildlife and be considerate of other visitors in the park.
All group leaders are trained in First Aid & CPR and carry a First Aid Kit at all times.
Pick-up and drop off points are at the Explorers' respective schools, unless prior arrangements are made.

And yes, we definitely go out in the winter! We enthusiastically take what Mother Nature bestows and plan snow activities whenever possible. If you are not sure what to wear during the after-school program or if you want a refresher on our rules, just click the links below!
