How to Make the Most of After-School Programs: Our NY Guide

October 10, 2022

After-school programs allow kids of all ages to develop healthy social relationships and to have fun with friends.  In fact, roughly 10.2 million children participate in after-school programs, with the number continuing to rise as parents work more hours.  We know that juggling between work and the kids’ schedule can be stressful, but we’re here to help.

One of the many reasons we’ve created an after-school program here in Westchester County (NY) is to foster socially-distanced physical fitness, as well as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.

While we know that a new after-school program may seem like a daunting task, we’ve made the process extremely easy.

While the exact dates/weeks that the program runs will vary from season to season, here’s what to expect: 

  • Four (4) weekly 3-hour sessions.
  • Limited to ages 7+.
  • Makeups for weather will be available on Thursdays from 3:30 pm.
  • Access to courses one level above their “With Adult” level. See our courses page for more information.

You can learn more about the exact dates here: https://boundlessadventures.net/ny-park/after-school-program/

We have a “Limited Annual Membership” available after you’ve completed one of our after-school programs.  It offers some more perks and park access…but you’ll need to start in the after-school program first.

Why We LOVE After School Programs in NY (…and everywhere else)

We’ve seen and been told by parents/teachers/employees that the kids that take part in our programs grow both at home and on our courses.

From improved grades to new friendships, we’ve watched their confidence grow in so many aspects of life. 

To make the most of our after-school programs we recommend talking with other parents from your children’s friend groups.  While we pride ourselves on growing relationships with children from all different classes and schools, having a friendly face or two never hurts! 

Overall, the confidence boost we see after our climbers zip through the trees or complete an adventurous climb is incredible.  We see it in their daily interactions at the park and know that it helps them at home and in school. 

The beauty of our after-school program here in Purchase NY is that we offer 11 different courses (that depend on the skill level of course) that can challenge even the most adventurous kids.  For those that want to build up some confidence first, we’ll then move them onto a “Motivation Course” later where they will traverse elements that include longer zip lines, ladders, and rolling elements.

At the end of the day, we think that spending 3-hours at one of New York’s top adventure parks is the perfect way for your children to continue to grow.

Make the Most of After-School Programs

We can’t wait to talk with you further about our after-school program that will provide some true adventure and learning for your kids. 

We know that all after-school programs aren’t truly stimulating or about furthering growth…that’s why we built ours here in Purchase, New York.

We’ll see you in the trees!
