Change in Wednesday After School Program
After approximately 25 years of a Wednesday After School Program, we are having to make some changes due to a limited number of volunteers.
Wednesday After School Program will be limited to 4th—12th graders. If students plan to stay after supper, they MUST agree to be present and participate in the
December 7th & May 17th Youth Sundays!!
We will pick up students from Lucama Elementary School, Springfield Middle School, and Hunt High School. If parents of younger students are volunteering, they may attend as well.
Cost will be $5 per student, per week.
Some scholarships will be available. First priority will go to students who attend church at Little Rock on Sundays.
Afternoons will be homework & fellowship time for students. We will practice for the December 7 th and May 17th Youth Sundays after supper.
Students will participate in Handbells or Drama Team two Wednesday nights a month and have class time the other 2 Wednesday nights.
We must have a medical release & permission form on file at least one week prior to picking up your students!
Fall start date will be Wednesday, September 3.
Last day will be Wednesday, December 17.
Spring start date will be January 7.
Last day will be May 13.
Camp @ Cragmont!
For many decades, Little Rock took students to camp at Cragmont in Black Mountain, NC.
When Covid hit in 2020, all camps closed for that year. When camps reopened in 2021, we were unable to return to attending camp at Cragmont due to transportation issues. So, for the past 5 years we have attended camp at Camp Vandemere.
Our ministers and Christian Education Board voted to return to attending camp at Cragmont
in 2026. We do not have the dates for camp yet, but the cost to attend Cragmont will be at
least $400 per child, grades 3 rd —12 th . Some scholarships will be available for low-income families who attend Little Rock on Sundays and Wednesdays. Parents need to be prepared to pay at least $200 per child to attend Cragmont. More information will come in future months.
