PEF Afternoon Camp is geared toward supplementing the learning in the morning with exploratory activities in the afternoon. Every student will have the same class activities that will include art, fitness, and discovery. To be eligible for afternoon care, students must participate in the morning component. Students must stay on-site the whole time, and cannot be brought back for additional programming once they leave. Classes will be led by aspiring teachers with a lead teacher available onsite. The afternoon program will run from 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm (Monday-Thursday) and will be priced at $625. Tuition assistance available to qualifying students.
