After School

The After School Program provides enrichment learning including physical activity and fitness, homework assistance, STEAM-based activities in the areas of science, engineering, art, music, and much more. The program operates from school dismissal until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday when school is in session. After School serves students enrolled at Pathways, River Park, and Central Elementary Schools. The program is located at the Central Recreation Center in downtown Hillsborough. Transportation from your child's school to the Recreation Center is provided via County owned and operated 15-passenger vans. Snack is provided. Note that the classroom does have a television that may be used for limited academic instruction purposes and occasional special movie days.
