The CAFB Youth Programs School Age Program is for children ages five to twelve, designed to care for the children of working parents in their out-of-school time. The program runs Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and features structured and unstructured educational and leisure activities, including arts and crafts, games, sports, sewing and cooking activities.

Children enrolled will also have access to our multi-media learning center. The learning center will provide school-age children with a varied range of learning opportunities such as: computer familiarization, educational software, and homework assistance with availability of varied resources including books, pamphlets, and educational tapes for VCR usage on various subjects.

USDA-approved meals and snacks are provided to all participants. Transportation is provided to and from Hunley Park and Lambs Elementary schools. Pick-up only transportation is provided from Eagles Nest and Fort Dorchester Elementary schools.

This program does not operate on Federal government holidays, but provides a full-day program from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. when school is closed due to teacher workshops. Please note that enrolled children's attendance is limited to ten hours per day.

Note: Full-day Holiday, Spring Break and Summer Day Camps will be scheduled with adjusted rates.
