Adventure Club (School Age Care)

2025-26 CAlendar

2026-27 CAlendar

Enrollment is guaranteed assuming that the registration requirements have been met, there is space available for care, and online registration has been received.

School Year Contract Options:

• Option 1 - Consistent Schedule: Families can sign up for a mix of morning or afternoon programming periods with the same schedule every week. Families are charged for the days of care they are contracted for, whether the child attends or not. Requests for schedule changes can be made online, and require a $20 schedule change fee, and are accepted on a space available basis. In addition, all changes require a two-week processing period before a child’s new schedule takes effect.

     New for 2026-27 school year: For afternoon care, families may choose Standard Day or Extended Day or a mixture of both.

• Option 2 - Pick Your Days: Families can sign up for ALL of their days at the beginning of the school year or submit a monthly contract online no later than the 20th of the previous month.  Pick your day contracts require a minimum of eight days per time block (morning session, afternoon session) per month.
   
• Drop-In Care - Only available with a current contract: Request a day or session as needed with at least 24 hours notice. Our online system allows families to request days with five days advance notice. If families need more immediate assistance, they must contact their child’s Site Lead either in writing or verbally. Enrollment is based on available space. There is no guarantee that space is available for your child(ren). 
   
• Option 3 - Non-School Day Only: Families can sign up for this contract if they are interested in signing up for non-school days only. Non-school day registration opens approximately six weeks before the non-school day, and registration must be received at least two weeks prior to given non-school day.

Summer Contract: 

Summer Contracts are based on the days of care needed. Families are presented with dates that the summer program is available at the time of registration. The dates that care is needed when registering and omit days care is not needed (i.e. grandparent visit, vacations, camps, etc.). A minimum of 10 days per contract is required in order for registration to be approved. Once days have been selected and the change deadline has been reached, there is no removing or exchanging of days. Additional days may be added by requesting Drop-In care.

District-Wide Non-School Days: 

Adventure Club offers all day services when school is not in session at select sites. Non-School Day (NSD) care is open from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. Families must be registered for Adventure Club in order to request a NSD and registration must be completed through the online registration system. Registrations must be received at least 15 days prior to a given NSD.

If you register for a NSD and have a change in plans, please notify the Adventure Club Accounts Technician immediately, (adventureclub@stillwaterschools.org). If it is less than 15 days prior, there is still a charge for that day.
 

Non-district, Non-resident Student Enrollment:

Students who are enrolled in schools outside of Stillwater Area Public Schools can register with a non-school day only contract to attend non-school days. Summer Adventure Club programming is open to students who are enrolled outside of Stillwater Area Public Schools.

2026-27 Non-School Days will be available for sign up on July 14, 2026.

Adventure Club is open at select sites on many of the days school is closed. Families must have a current approved contract to be eligible to sign up for these days and we do offer a Non-School Day contract option for those who only need care on non-school days.

Students must be signed up for each non-school day through the Adventure Club account. The deadline to sign up is 15 days prior to the day of care (or the first day in a cluster/group of days). Once the deadline has passed, requests can not be cancelled. We will email a reminder to families about sign up/cancelling four weeks ahead of the NSD date.

Requests are approved beginning 14 days before the date of care. We approve the requests based on the order they came in and up to the capacity for that site. Once a site fills, we reach out to any families not approved and offer them care at an alternative location.

In order to participate, every student must agree to comply with all laws, all Adventure Club rules, and any special rules governing the field trip; to cooperate with the Adventure Club staff; and have obtained permission and a waiver from a parent/guardian. Parents/Guardians must complete the online agreement form during registration in order for their student to participate. Failure to agree may result in limiting the care that is available to students. Below is the waiver to be reviewed: 

I recognize and understand that Adventure Club field trips have an inherent risks, including the potential loss of personal property and the risk of physical injury or death. I also understand that these risks exist even with careful planning and reasonable supervision. Knowing the inherent risks and dangers involved, I am granting permission for my child to attend and participate in the Adventure Club sponsored field trips scheduled for the 2026-27 school years.

I agree that the ratio of adults to students, as indicated for each field trip, represents an adequate and reasonable level of supervision. I hereby waive any right to bring any claim or cause of action against the District for negligent supervision, unless a District employee, agent, or volunteer on the trip engages in gross negligence or willful misconduct that directly causes harm to my child. I also represent that my child is capable of safely participating in the trip.

I understand that my child may be sent home early from the trip, at my expense, if my child engages in any behavior that threatens the health or safety of any person, or violates any law or rule of conduct including, but not limited to, any rule prohibiting the possession, use, or distribution of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. District staff will determine whether my child has engaged in such behavior and whether my child will be sent home early at my expense.  

Authorization to Administer Medication form
If a child is required to take a prescription or over the counter medication during Adventure Club hours, we must have an Authorization to Administer Medication form signed by a physician and the parent.

Allergy Plan form
When registering for Adventure Club, families are asked if the child has allergies and whether or not children require an allergy plan. Check "Yes" for a child with a severe allergy that staff must be aware of and/or a response plan that requires medication (EpiPen, Benadryl, etc). Check "No" if the child has an allergy that staff should be aware of, but it does not require a care plan (dogs/cats, mild seasonal allergies, etc). If "Yes" is selected as needing an allergy plan, a completed Allergy Plan form is required.

School Year - Contract Changes
There are three types of contracts: Consistent Schedule, Pick Your Days, and Non-School Day only. Families needing to change contracts must complete a Contract/Schedule Change request online through their Adventure Club account at least two weeks prior to the change. Changes to a Contract Type are only approved if space is available. A $20 processing fee per contract will be charged to the account.

Schedule Changes
Changes to a child’s daily schedule can be requested online by logging into your Adventure Club account. The system does not allow changes to be requested for a month that has been invoiced. For a change to occur in two weeks that the system is not allowing, families must email adventureclub@stillwaterschools.org. A $20 processing fee per contract will be charged to the account. Schedule changes will be approved only if there is space available.

School Year -- A two-week notice for changes to schedules is required. Changes to contracted days within a Consistent Schedule care plan result in a $20 per contract processing fee. Changes to contracted days are only approved if space is available. There are no additional processing fees for changing Pick Your Days if submitted online by the 20th of each month.

Summer -- Changes to scheduled dates are accepted through the registration deadline. After that date, Drop-In Care dates can be added if space is available by submitting a request through your online account. Exchanging or eliminating days is not allowed after the deadline.

Vacation Request (school year only)
Vacation credit is for non-use of service. Only those on a Consistent Schedule contract can receive vacation credit. Submit a Vacation Credit  Request online two weeks before the vacation begins. Vacation time cannot be substituted for absence. You may receive one day of credit per child for each day contracted in a one-week period. Credit is given AFTER the vacation dates. Vacation credit does not apply to the summer program.

Dual Enrollment Credit 
Families who have a child in the Adventure Club program and are subsequently signed up for a paid Stillwater Community Ed class, may receive a credit for the time they are away from Adventure Club. Parents must fill out the Dual Enrollment form before the class starts. Credits are given after the class concludes and attendance has been verified. The amount of the credit is based on the hours the child is gone. The class must be a minimum of one hour in length. A credit of 20% will be given off the 2:15 - 5 p.m. tuition price.
