Conrad Elvehjem AFTER SCHOOL meets in the gym where the children enjoy a variety of activities.  There are areas for play with games, puzzles, large and small manipulatives, as well as for exploring dramatic play, music, quiet activities, creative art and special staff-directed projects.   Just outside the gym door is a large playground with swings and climbing equipment, and a field for group games and sports.  Conrad Elvehjem AFTER SCHOOL is a choice-based program.  We believe in offering many opportunities for kids to have fun and explore their interests.  Kid input is important too!  We encourage their suggestions for safe, appropriate activities.  We provide a welcoming atmosphere that supports friendships and builds social skills, daily homework time with adult help and outdoor play every day (weather permitting) for good health. Scouting is offered at some sites based on child interest and availability of volunteers. Many of our Dane County AFTER SCHOOL sites offer enrichment classes.  These include World Language, art and science classes.  Click here to learn more.   Enrichment classes can be arranged at most AFTER SCHOOL sites if there is enough interest.  Email janderson@wisconsinyouthcompany.org to learn more.
