Clubs, Activities & Homework Help

Our Afterschool Program is unique because each youth member is also a member of Schoharie County 4-H. Within the Afterschool program kids can participate in a variety of clubs, as well as trips and activities hosted by Schoharie County 4-H. They also become eligible to display some of their items at the Schoharie County Sunshine Fair in August!

Art Club

During Art Club, Afterschool members are encouraged to use their imaginations to create! Often they will be working on projects that have particular uses such as bird feeders. Sometimes their projects are made for community service, like when Teresa Adell, 4-H Subject Educator in Otsego County, came and helped them make blankets for the local animal shelter. Members are also given free time to let their creativity go wild.

Science Club

Our Science Club allows afterschool members to explore the world around them by performing experiments in a safe environment. Youth have built volcanoes, experimented with pumpkins, and made things that float and/or fly. We love to encourage the fun that comes with science!

Spanish Club

Members of the Schoharie afterschool program can take advantage of Valentina Conway's Spanish Club. Youth will learn common conversational words and phrases, how to count to twenty, and more. Past members have participated in educational activities such as labeling a coloring book in spanish. This club is for members of all ages and encourages them to have fun with foreign languages.

Sports Club

During sports club youth learn a variety of skills that provide them with fun exercise. Sports are often season-specific and include Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, and Snowshoeing. Some football skills are also taught, though members are not allowed to participate in tackling. During school tennis practices, the tennis coach will often allow the member to come observe so they can see if they want to be on the school tennis team.
