After School Program

The ASP is a series of free recreation programs that operate from September through May for youth in grades 1 - 5.

The ASP meets once per week at each host elementary school: Mondays are at Summit Hall, Tuesdays at Brown Station, Wednesdays at Washington Grove, Thursdays at Fields Road and Fridays at Gaithersburg Elementary.


The After School Program is only for students who attend the host school.
