Mad Creek After-School Program Details:

The after-school program was created due to an expressed need by the Muscatine community. Prior to its creation, there were programs for elementary students, but there was nothing for students in grades 7-8. This is a vulnerable age as students become more independent, often need a place to go to relax with friends in a safe environment, have fun, and get a chance for some school help if needed.

The program takes place in Calvary Church's Family Life Center and is open to all students in grades 7-8. This program is completely free to the student and includes transportation from Susan Clark Jr High to Calvary Church. Each day of the program includes a snack, time for open gym, a chance to play games, and receive help on homework.

Thank you for your support!
