Before & After School Programs

Keep your child safe with a quality after school program that will enrich and enhance their school age years. The Recreation and Parks Department offers seven after school programs located throughout the City. Each of the seven locations for the program includes:

  • Qualified staffWacky Tacky Kids day
  • Ratio of 1:16
  • Group activities
  • Homework time
  • Snack time
  • Arts & crafts

Due to changes in the 2020-2021 School Year Calendar and format, we developed a program that we hope will accommodate the changes made by Onslow County Schools in response to COVID-19 for a large number of students.  We will be following guidelines issued by the NCDHHS and Onslow County School at the programs we will offer during the school year.  If you have any questions, please call us at 910 938-5312.
