Helen Keller Middle School After School Program @ the ECC
The objective of the ASP is to provide a range of supervised programs that will attract the interest of children and their parents. The emphasis will be on program participation. This is not childcare but rather a drop in recreation program. No child will be without supervision.
Participants will be escorted from Helen Keller Middle school by an ECC staff member and participants will not be permitted to leave the building without prior written approval or until they are signed out by a parent or other authorized person. The program will consist of a snack shop, followed by a choice of organized activity and ending with supervised free play either in the gym or the teen center (see attached sample program). Attendance is voluntary depending on your child’s schedule. Only those registered in this program or other ECC program will be permitted to be in the facility during these times.
As this program will only be offered on school days, there will be no program on holidays when school is closed and on snow days. We do offer day trips that teens are able to sign up for most days when school is closed. Whenever possible, the ECC will accommodate early dismissals.

Community Leadership Club
The Community Leadership Club is centered around teaching the campers about manners, morals, respect, responsibility, leadership, hard work, honesty and many other great traits. We put a lot of emphasis on Thursday the community service day; this is our give back day where the day is about helping others and not themselves. It is a great learning experience for every camper. We need every camper to be mature and give back to the community. We have the ability to limit participation of some of the fun filled activities if necessary. I know we will have an amazing summer and I look forward to working with every camper.
Please Note: Limited Spots are Available & All Trips are subject to change.
