After School Frenzy
Elementary After-school Program
Make the school year fun, exciting and educational by sending your child to ASF at AFRC. Your child will create lasting friendships and memories in a fun, safe, and caring environment. Plus, they will be engaged in a variety of recreational and educational activities, including arts and crafts, field trips, exercise, games, movies, sports, and more.
Registration for ASF Online & In-house
- Visit the AFRC or Register online.
Children are only enrolled for weeks that are fully paid for. Spots are not held for unpaid weeks.
Single-day Rates are not available at this time.
The number of open single-day spots is based on overall program enrollment numbers and will only be offered in weeks that do not reach maximum capacity. We are meeting the maximum weekly enrollment at this time. Please check back for updates.
When available, single-day registration will open two weeks in advance, and participants must be enrolled at least one week before the single day you request (i.e., by Wednesday, September 21, for participation on Wednesday, September 28). This ensures we can collect all necessary paperwork before the child's participation in our program.
You can come into the AFRC or call (MUST have a card on file - no payments will be taken over the phone) to register your child for any single day.
