Class Experience
Wonder Kids After-School is a nature-based after-school program that takes place in Prospect Park. We normally play in a beautiful secret forest inside the park, near Litchfield Villa. Each day there is a mission that invites the children to develop their own games and stories through free play. We provide them with necessary materials they need to build structures, make music, create nature-inspired art, and explore the forest.
We plan to be outside in all weather: snow, rain, sun, and cold! Please refer to our Inclement Weather Policy for more information on what we do in extreme conditions.
✔ Tuesdays will begin after spring break and are reserved for older kids (Grades 2-5) specifically.
✔ Nature-based program
✔ Main meeting point: forest near Litchfiled Villa (Prospect Park West and 5th Street)
✔ School pick-ups from PS321 Upper School, PS 039, & PS107 ($20/session)

Loved everything about this! Caring, calm but in charge providers. My son learned something everyday, seemingly all through play. Went on wonderful adventures. Outside all day. My 5 year old is already asking if he can do this camp all next summer.
