The Chilmark Community Center offers a variety of activities for children ages 4 through 14, from 9:00am – 12:00pm Monday thru Friday.

CHILDREN AGES 4 & 5 are invited to participate in our daily Playschool, where kids learn and play all morning long. The Playschool operates at the Chilmark School, just across the yard from The Center.

CHILDREN AGES 6-14 participate in our morning program at The Center.  Our program directors lead the kids in a variety of activities including arts and crafts in our Art Shack, basketball, tennis, dodgeball, hip hop dance and more. Participants are divided into groups for age-appropriate fun!

ART

This program teaches kids everything from ceramics and painting to papermaking. Some of the featured activities for this summer include tie-dyeing, papier mâché, plaster masks, origami, jewelry making, quilt making, vase decorating, and stenciling. There will be daily activities for each age group. Stop by the art shack to be creative!

SPORTS & ALL-CENTER ACTIVITIES
Due to popular demand, more All-Center Activities, like the Goolympics, will be featured at the Center this summer. As always, we will continue to offer a wide variety of traditional sports and games; everything from Ultimate Frisbee to Racket Smacket to softball!  

DRAMA & MUSIC
The Center’s drama and music programs are combined into one program, reflecting how well the two groups work together to produce fabulous performances. The drama program allows kids to experiment with role-playing in a variety of settings including improv, skits, and plays. Classes will work towards the July talent show, with plenty of fun and other performances along the way.

SNACK BAR
The snack bar at the Chilmark Community Center is open during youth program hours, and offers a variety of snacks and drinks for kids to enjoy.  It’s recommended that parents purchase a snack card for their child at the beginning of the program, for ease of purchase.
