Afterschool Adventure Program
Grades K-5
Exeter Parks & Recreation is excited to introduce the brand-new Afterschool Adventure Program for the 2026–2027 school year! Designed for children in grades K–5, this fun-filled program will be held at the Exeter Parks & Recreation Community Center, located at 10 Hampton Road.

The Afterschool Adventure Program provides a safe, active, and engaging environment where children can unwind, learn, and play after the school day. Each afternoon will feature a wide variety of exciting activities, including outdoor play, adventures at Planet Playground, sports, group games, arts & crafts, STEM projects, homework assistance, and so much more. Every day brings new opportunities for fun, creativity, friendship, and discovery!

Program Information:
Families may choose to enroll their child for 1 to 5 days per week, based on their needs at a rate of $35/day per child. The program is held from 3:00pm-6:00pm.
Invoices will be sent out at the beginning of the month and weekly payments are required unless the invoice is paid upfront.
The program will not be held on holidays, vacation weeks, or when school is cancelled or dismissed early due to inclement weather.

Transportation Information:
For the 2026-2027 School Year; transportation in the EPRD Van or School Bus will be available for students attending the following schools:
● Main Street School
● Lincoln Street School

Caregivers are responsible for informing their student's school that they will be attending the Afterschool Adventure Program with Exeter Parks & Recreation. This ensures that your child boards the correct bus. Program staff will have a copy of the daily roster for each school. In theevent that the school is not notified, program staff will not be able to collect your child at their school.

Registration Information:
Registration requires a deposit of just $35 which locks in your space for the entire school year.

Program Withdrawals:
If you wish to withdraw your student from the program, written notice must be given to the Program Coordinator by the 15th of the month for the next month. Late withdrawals will still be required to pay the current invoice in full.

Schedule Changes:
If you need to make changes to the days that your student is attending the program, we ask for 2 weeks written notice so that we can ensure proper staffing levels in the program. Written notice must be provided to the Program Coordinator via email. All schedule change requests are subject to availability. While we will do our best to accommodate your needs, as our program grows, we may not have the capacity to accept your student on an alternate day beyond their original scheduled registration.

Absences:
Please note, we are not a “drop in” daycare service center. You are required to pay for your child’s spot, whether or not your child is in attendance. There will be no credits and or refunds for absence from our program due to illness less than 5 consecutive days, family vacations, school activities and or school trips.

Absences due to illness of 5 consecutive days or more from both school and the Afterschool Adventure Program require a doctor’s note prior to any credit consideration.
