It’s Not Too Late to Find Adventure on the Hill!

Our after-school program Adventure on the Hill is off to a rockin' start and it's not too late to sign up your kids! We pick up children in grades K-8 at local schools and bring them back to the Hill for an afternoon of fun, learning, music, sports, cooking... you name it! Here are just a few classes:

  • Fashion Design: If there's a budding fashionista in your family, this is the perfect class! Students work on design sketches and then bring them to life! No sewing experience necessary.
  • Computer Club: Kids love computer time and this is a great chance for them to play games or do research - all with supervision. They'll learn to make PowerPoint presentations, create graphs and charts and use publishing programs.
  • Sports Club: Your kids will burn off all their pent-up energy after school. They'll play soccer, kickball, dodgeball, basketball and wiffle ball. We're outside this fall, as long as the weather stays nice.

For the complete Adventure on the Hill menu, click HERE. Sign up with Youth Director Ashley Corcoran at 781-631-8330 or at acorcoran@jccns.com.
