Not every family can make a weekday afternoon program work. Weekend options exist for exactly that reason, without cutting any corners on quality.

What to Look for in a Weekend Program

  • Same curriculum as weekday options: weekend shouldn't mean a watered-down version.
  • Consistent team and coach: the same benefits of an after-school season, just on a different day.
  • Realistic time slots: late enough to allow for a relaxed morning, early enough to leave the rest of the day free.

Our Weekend Option

Kids at a Sea League weekend season

Our Weekend Seasons run the same eight-week curriculum as our after-school program, just scheduled for families whose weekdays don't have room in them.

For general guidance on choosing a quality youth program, the American Camp Association is a useful resource.
