Programs for youth at UMCH include after-school activities at nine GRPS 21st-Century Learning Centers during the school year, and day camp during the summer months. In both programs, we provide school-aged children with opportunities to stay busy, learn new skills, strengthen social relationships, reinforce learning, and to have new experiences during the hours parents are traditionally at work.
The 21ST CENTURY PROGRAM is offered right in Grand Rapids Public Schools to provide school-aged youth with an opportunity to do homework and have structured recreational activities. Snacks are provided and the staff help create an atmosphere of fun and learning.
UMCH manages 8 of the GRPS 21st Century sites:

Adventure Club is offered Monday-Friday for 9 weeks during the summer months. The club is open to all children ages 5-10. Each week is filled with fun, teamwork, crafts, field trips, music, and a curriculum to strengthen their academic skills. Lunch is provided daily in this safe, affordable day program that keeps kids involved in positive activities all summer long.
