Monkey Tail Gang After School Program

The Schuylkill Center’s Monkey Tail Gang is an outdoor, nature-based, after school program for children ages 4–12. We offer after school care until 6:00 pm that includes nature hikes, group activities, unstructured free play, and outdoor exploration. We believe that continued access to nature, in both structured and unstructured environments, can be as important to a child’s growth and development as time spent in the classroom. Children at Monkey Tail Gang learn from and are enriched by the natural beauty of our 365 acres of forest, streams, ponds and meadows.

All program staff are highly-qualified professionals and we maintain a staff to student ratio of 1:10 or lower.

Registration

Monkey Tail Gang is currently full for the 2021-2022 school year. Current Monkey Tail Gang families receive priority registration. If spots remain, registration will open in July to those not currently enrolled.
