🍕🎲🏹🎨 BIG things are happening at ASP! 🎨🏹🎲🍕

Our After School Program is bringing some EXCITING NEW ADDITIONS this fall! From strategy games and creative projects to Archery Tag and Friday pizza, there’s something new for everyone to enjoy. 🙌

🍕 PIZZA DAY
And because every great after-school program needs pizza... 🍕 Pizza Day is every Friday (starting TODAY)! Stop by the concession stand at the Gulf Breeze After School Program for pizza for $2.50 per slice or 2 for $4.

🎲 BIG BOARD GAME DAYS
Once a month, we’re setting aside time for longer, more strategic games like Catan, Azul, Downforce and more! These games are perfect for middle schoolers who enjoy a little friendly competition, strategy and thinking ahead. Games will run from 2:15–4:30 PM, and spots are limited!

🏹 ARCHERY TAG
Archery Tag is officially at ASP! Twice a month, we’ll gear up for 4-versus-4 Archery Tag featuring soft foam-tipped arrows, safe targets and nonstop action. It’s part dodgeball, part archery and a whole lot of fun! No experience necessary, just bring the hype!

🎨 ART DAYS
Art Days are back at ASP! Join us every other Monday for a new creative project, including painting, drawing, clay, pastels and more. Get creative, get messy and show off your artistic side! 🎨 Spots are limited, so be sure to sign up early.

🎉 There’s a LOT happening at ASP this year, and we can’t wait to see what our students create, play and compete in! 🎉
