REC Days 2024-2025 - April REC Days
About Our Program!R.E.C. Days is our daily; Recreational-Educational-Creative program, taking place in the afternoon at Hard'ack. Participants meet at the Greg Brown Lodge after school for afternoons that are designed to be fun, active, and engaging for kids in Kindergarten through 6th Grade.Hard'ack is the perfect place for children to be able to do a variety of different activities. Kiddos can expect a mixture of outdoor play, games, sports, crafts, pool time and more! Outdoor play can include but is not limited to going for hikes and nature walks, playing games out on our soccer fields, or enjoying our super awesome new playground! Our program also includes indoor activities such as crafts, perler beads, friendship bracelet making, coloring, cards, and more! We are also fortunate to have access to the year-round Hard'ack Pool! Throughout the whole school year, there will be multiple days a week where registrants will be able to utilize our pool and go swimming after school! If there is one thing we can guarantee - it's that the fun never stops!! TRANSPORTATION TO HARD'ACK - If your child attends SATEC or SACS, they are able to ride the school bus right to Hard'ack after school. Our staff will be waiting for them and meet them daily as they get off the bus. However - families must confirm with their schools that they will be attending our program, to ensure your child takes the correct bus at the end of the day.
If your child does NOT attend SATEC or SACS you will need to provide transportation to get to Hard'ack. MONTHLY THEMESApril: TINKERING AND BUILDINGMay: CAMP FAVORITESJune: TBAFor the month of June, you can choose which day(s) you would like your child to attend. It is NOT by the week for this last month since there are only certain days that we will have programming. There is a set fee per day, rather than a fee for the month. Please note there is NO afterschool programming on Monday, June 9th or Tuesday, June 10th. The last day of afterschool will be on Friday, June 13th regardless of what the last day of school is. All monthly themes are subject to change. WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD BRING??- Clothes for the weather!! (you can always count on us playing outside if the weather allows, so please make sure your child is prepared with clothes for the weather conditions - rain jackets, snow gear, boots, etc.)- Snacks!! (We do NOT provide an after-school snack so please make sure your child has something they can eat once they get here after school!)- Water bottle - Swimsuit and towel (they always should be prepared to go to the pool)Pick-Up! Pick-up is anytime before 6:00pm at Hard'ack! All children MUST be picked up by 6:00pm. Missed Days: If your child goes home sick from school or is going to miss a day that they are scheduled to be at Hard'ack you will need to call and let us know. There are NO refunds or credits for missed sessions! How Registration Works!R.E.C. Days are broken down by month. At registration, you will have the option to choose which months you would like to register for, and also which days of the week. Your child can come for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days a week. At checkout, you will pick which days you want for that month, and this will sign your child up for those days for the whole month! So if you wanted your child to come Mondays and Wednesdays - you will choose those days at check out and they will be signed up for Mondays & Wednesdays for the whole month! You will notice that registration fees will vary month to month, this is due to the fact that months either have 3, 4 or 5 weeks. Prices have been adjusted to accommodate this. At checkout, you will only be required to pay the first week deposit for the month. The remainder of the fee must be paid before the start of the session! Even though you are only required to pay the first week deposit at checkout, you can adjust the payment to pay the whole month upfront. WEEKLY RATES1 DAY/WK = $55 Residents/$69 Non-Residents2 DAYS/WK = $109 Residents/$138 Non-Residents3 DAYS/WK = $149 Residents/$193 Non-Residents4 DAYS/WK = $159 Residents/$206 Non-Residents5 DAYS/WK = $169 Residents/$219 Non-ResidentsIf you want to know your expected monthly price, times this rate by the number of weeks in the session!

Participants meet at the Greg Brown Lodge after school for afternoons that are designed to be fun, active, and engaging for kids in Kindergarten through 6th Grade.Hard'ack is the perfect place for children to be able to do a variety of different activities. Kiddos can expect a mixture of outdoor play, games, sports, crafts, pool time and more! Outdoor play can include but is not limited to going for hikes and nature walks, playing games out on our soccer fields, or enjoying our super awesome new playground! Our program also includes indoor activities such as crafts, perler beads, friendship bracelet making, coloring, cards, and more! We are also fortunate to have access to the year-round Hard'ack Pool! Throughout the whole school year, there will be multiple days a week where registrants will be able to utilize our pool and go swimming after school! If there is one thing we can guarantee - it's that the fun never stops!! TRANSPORTATION TO HARD'ACK - If your child attends SATEC or SACS, they are able to ride the school bus right to Hard'ack after school. Our staff will be waiting for them and meet them daily as they get off the bus. However - families must confirm with their schools that they will be attending our program, to ensure your child takes the correct bus at the end of the day.
If your child does NOT attend SATEC or SACS you will need to provide transportation to get to Hard'ack. MONTHLY THEMESApril: TINKERING AND BUILDINGMay: CAMP FAVORITESJune: TBAFor the month of June, you can choose which day(s) you would like your child to attend. It is NOT by the week for this last month since there are only certain days that we will have programming. There is a set fee per day, rather than a fee for the month. Please note there is NO afterschool programming on Monday, June 9th or Tuesday, June 10th. The last day of afterschool will be on Friday, June 13th regardless of what the last day of school is. All monthly themes are subject to change. WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD BRING??- Clothes for the weather!! (you can always count on us playing outside if the weather allows, so please make sure your child is prepared with clothes for the weather conditions - rain jackets, snow gear, boots, etc.)- Snacks!! (We do NOT provide an after-school snack so please make sure your child has something they can eat once they get here after school!)- Water bottle - Swimsuit and towel (they always should be prepared to go to the pool)Pick-Up! Pick-up is anytime before 6:00pm at Hard'ack! All children MUST be picked up by 6:00pm. Missed Days: If your child goes home sick from school or is going to miss a day that they are scheduled to be at Hard'ack you will need to call and let us know. There are NO refunds or credits for missed sessions! How Registration Works!R.E.C. Days are broken down by month. At registration, you will have the option to choose which months you would like to register for, and also which days of the week. Your child can come for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days a week. At checkout, you will pick which days you want for that month, and this will sign your child up for those days for the whole month! So if you wanted your child to come Mondays and Wednesdays - you will choose those days at check out and they will be signed up for Mondays & Wednesdays for the whole month! You will notice that registration fees will vary month to month, this is due to the fact that months either have 3, 4 or 5 weeks. Prices have been adjusted to accommodate this. At checkout, you will only be required to pay the first week deposit for the month. The remainder of the fee must be paid before the start of the session! Even though you are only required to pay the first week deposit at checkout, you can adjust the payment to pay the whole month upfront. WEEKLY RATES1 DAY/WK = $55 Residents/$69 Non-Residents2 DAYS/WK = $109 Residents/$138 Non-Residents3 DAYS/WK = $149 Residents/$193 Non-Residents4 DAYS/WK = $159 Residents/$206 Non-Residents5 DAYS/WK = $169 Residents/$219 Non-ResidentsIf you want to know your expected monthly price, times this rate by the number of weeks in the session!

REC Days 2024-2025 - May REC Days
About Our Program!R.E.C. Days is our daily; Recreational-Educational-Creative program, taking place in the afternoon at Hard'ack. Participants meet at the Greg Brown Lodge after school for afternoons that are designed to be fun, active, and engaging for kids in Kindergarten through 6th Grade.Hard'ack is the perfect place for children to be able to do a variety of different activities. Kiddos can expect a mixture of outdoor play, games, sports, crafts, pool time and more! Outdoor play can include but is not limited to going for hikes and nature walks, playing games out on our soccer fields, or enjoying our super awesome new playground! Our program also includes indoor activities such as crafts, perler beads, friendship bracelet making, coloring, cards, and more! We are also fortunate to have access to the year-round Hard'ack Pool! Throughout the whole school year, there will be multiple days a week where registrants will be able to utilize our pool and go swimming after school! If there is one thing we can guarantee - it's that the fun never stops!! TRANSPORTATION TO HARD'ACK - If your child attends SATEC or SACS, they are able to ride the school bus right to Hard'ack after school. Our staff will be waiting for them and meet them daily as they get off the bus. However - families must confirm with their schools that they will be attending our program, to ensure your child takes the correct bus at the end of the day.
If your child does NOT attend SATEC or SACS you will need to provide transportation to get to Hard'ack. MONTHLY THEMESApril: TINKERING AND BUILDINGMay: CAMP FAVORITESJune: TBAFor the month of June, you can choose which day(s) you would like your child to attend. It is NOT by the week for this last month since there are only certain days that we will have programming. There is a set fee per day, rather than a fee for the month. Please note there is NO afterschool programming on Monday, June 9th or Tuesday, June 10th. The last day of afterschool will be on Friday, June 13th regardless of what the last day of school is. All monthly themes are subject to change. WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD BRING??- Clothes for the weather!! (you can always count on us playing outside if the weather allows, so please make sure your child is prepared with clothes for the weather conditions - rain jackets, snow gear, boots, etc.)- Snacks!! (We do NOT provide an after-school snack so please make sure your child has something they can eat once they get here after school!)- Water bottle - Swimsuit and towel (they always should be prepared to go to the pool)Pick-Up! Pick-up is anytime before 6:00pm at Hard'ack! All children MUST be picked up by 6:00pm. Missed Days: If your child goes home sick from school or is going to miss a day that they are scheduled to be at Hard'ack you will need to call and let us know. There are NO refunds or credits for missed sessions! How Registration Works!R.E.C. Days are broken down by month. At registration, you will have the option to choose which months you would like to register for, and also which days of the week. Your child can come for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days a week. At checkout, you will pick which days you want for that month, and this will sign your child up for those days for the whole month! So if you wanted your child to come Mondays and Wednesdays - you will choose those days at check out and they will be signed up for Mondays & Wednesdays for the whole month! You will notice that registration fees will vary month to month, this is due to the fact that months either have 3, 4 or 5 weeks. Prices have been adjusted to accommodate this. At checkout, you will only be required to pay the first week deposit for the month. The remainder of the fee must be paid before the start of the session! Even though you are only required to pay the first week deposit at checkout, you can adjust the payment to pay the whole month upfront. WEEKLY RATES1 DAY/WK = $55 Residents/$69 Non-Residents2 DAYS/WK = $109 Residents/$138 Non-Residents3 DAYS/WK = $149 Residents/$193 Non-Residents4 DAYS/WK = $159 Residents/$206 Non-Residents5 DAYS/WK = $169 Residents/$219 Non-ResidentsIf you want to know your expected monthly price, times this rate by the number of weeks in the session!
