Five clubs in Southern Maryland. Five days a week. Free or low-cost after-school programs that turn ordinary afternoons into great futures.
Every Club balances four pillars — academics, the arts, athletics, and good character — under the same roof, every afternoon.
Homework first. Snacks second. Tutors, mentors, and a quiet room every weekday afternoon.
Mon–Fri · 3 PMBasketball, soccer, dance, fitness — 60 minutes of movement, every single Club day.
Year-roundDrawing, painting, photography, and theater — finding your voice through the arts.
WeeklyCoding, robotics, and project-based science labs that turn curiosity into competence.
Tue + ThuEach location is run by trained youth-development staff and built for the rhythm of its community.

"The Club is where my son finally felt seen. He went from withdrawn to wanting to give a presentation at the school assembly."
"I've coached at Bayside for six years. There is nothing in my life as good as a Friday afternoon with these kids."
"I came to the Club at 8. I graduated from CSM last spring. I'm coming back this fall — to coach."
