The After School Program follows the St. George School Calendar (2025-2026 calendar not available yet). If the St. George School is closed for any reason (vacation, teacher workshop, snow day, etc.), there will not be an After School Program that day. There will not be an After School program if students are released early due to inclement weather (snow days). If the school cancels its after school activities, these after school programs will also be canceled.

The After School Program will happen at Blueberry Cove from:

  • End of school (2:30) to 5:30 p.m. Monday – Thursday on regular full school days. Please let us know in advance if you plan to pick up your student before 4:30 p.m. On scheduled early release days programs run from 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. There will not be any extended aftercare.  There is no After School Program on Fridays.

Additional Program Policies and FAQs

Program Description

At Blueberry Cove it is our goal to offer youth outdoor experiences that lead to a lifelong love of the outdoors. We believe all children should experience the joys and wonder of nature.

Our after school programs will help develop a connection to the outdoors, create new friendships and build new skills that last a lifetime! Each day there will be plenty of time to simply play, explore and discover the wonders of nature!

Activities will vary and may include playing large inclusive group games, building shelters, creative arts, STEM lessons, making ice cream and building fairy houses. We may also visit Blueberry Cove’s animals and harvest fruits and vegetables from the garden or spend the afternoon at the beach searching for treasures, crabbing, and lots more!

Financial Assistance

We understand that the cost of quality programming can be a financial burden and want our programs to be accessible to all families.

We have two ways to help lessen the financial burden:

  1. Flexible payment plans. Automatic payments can be set up in the registration system or you can manually make or send payments on a schedule that fits your budget.
  2. Apply for financial assistance during the registration process. We will help as many participants as we can on a first-come, first-serve basis taking into consideration family needs and available funds. Priority will be given to families with Adjusted Gross Income less than $60,000 but all applications and circumstances will be considered.
