Before & Aftercare Details and Rates 2024

Science & Arts Academy GIfted Des Plaines Illinois  summer camp care logo

Our Before and Aftercare options are offered daily* during Summer Adventures to provide more flexibility for those families who need extended care.  

The Before and Aftercare programs are offered for an additional fee. Participating families receive session invoices based on usage via their CampBrain account. Since Before and Aftercare programs are staffed every day, it is treated as a drop-in service and there is no registration required. 

Students in Before and Aftercare play games, do crafts, and participate in other self-directed activities. Depending on the weather and space availability after camp, students have the option to play games in the gym or on the playground.

​For questions about Before or Aftercare,  contact summer@scienceandartsacademy.org.
