FREE After School Activity Club for Sun Prairie Elementary Students on Thursdays!

Looking for a safe, fun, engaging place for your child to go on Early Release Thursdays? Burst Thursday is a completely FREE after-school program just across the street from Royal Oaks Elementary, designed for kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade!

At Burst Thursday, kids will enjoy fun games, snacks, activities, music, and more. Each week is built around a different theme, so there’s always something exciting to look forward to! This school year, Burst Thursday starts at 1:30 PM and pick-up is at 2:40 PM at the NXTGEN Center (at Focus Church) every Thursday that there is school. This updated time is designed to help families have a pick-up time that feels more similar to a normal school day.
