Once every week our 4^th and 5^th graders from the Sioux Falls area are eligible to ride the "Y" bus to and from their school for two hours of After School Fun. Once at the "Y", they will participate in our supervised activities held in the game room, play space (dodgeball), Rysdon gym & pool (swimming)! Snacks will be available for purchase.

Supervised after-school activities for boys and girls in grades 4 & 5 are available every school day except when the Sioux Falls public schools are not in session or are dismissed early.  October - April, buses are run daily to pick up kids after school and bring them to the YMCA!  Click here for Bus schedule information.  Pickup will be within 25 minutes of dismissal and children will be returned to their schools between 5:10 and 5:30pm.

This program is being made available through the cooperative efforts of the Sioux Falls Family YMCA, City of Sioux Falls, Sioux Empire United Way, 21^st Century Community Learning Centers, SD Arts Council, First Presbyterian Church and from program fees collected.  It is offered to all students enrolled in the Sioux Falls Public Middle Schools.
