Afterschool Programs
Lakewood’s After-School Activity ZONE is a free drop-in program for school-age children, teens and preteens. The program is offered at city parks, Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Schedules flex to accommodate school holidays and vacation periods. For more information call 562-866-9771, extension 2408 or email service1@lakewoodcity.org.
Afterschool activities include playground games, arts and crafts, homework help and organized sports leagues through the Lakewood Youth Sports Program. Most programs are free and do not require pre-registration. Some specialized activities may require a minimal materials cost.
Programs will continue through much of December with special holiday activities and schedules planned for mid-December through early January. Programs will be featured throughout the two weeks of the school holiday vacation period.
After-school programs are designed to be safe and secure with supervised activities. Rules of good conduct are enforced. Specialized programs introduce new skills in an upbeat atmosphere where participants share ideas with their peers.
