New After School Club starting Fall 2014!

Orbit Skate Center After School Club is starting in the Fall of 2014 for select District 15 Palatine Elementary Schools. Our fleet of busses is growing and we are hoping to reach at least 6 schools including Winston Campus, Virginia Lake, Jane Addams, Lake Louise and a couple more to be announced soon.

Children in grades K-6th will be transported from their schools to the Orbit Skate Center, 615 S Consumers Avenue, Palatine IL each full day of school at their dismissal time and the Club will be open until 6pm. The cost will be $10 per day per child and there's a 5 day as well as a 3 day option for parents. College age mentors will be on hand to help the children complete their homework during Power Hour and a healthy snack will be provided. Free time can be roller skating, ping pong, air hockey, arts and crafts, Dodgeball and other fun games and activities.

We have a fabulous Director, Mrs. Martha Lardon who is a full time teacher currently at Riley School in D25. She is a regular here at Orbit and felt this was a much needed program. We have a certified preschool teacher for the younger children that will work with the K-1 children while the older children are completing their homework.

Early registration will begin soon from the website with a $50 registration fee (once per year per family) and tuition will be paid weekly in the Fall.

We are looking forward to a great school year with your children! Orbit Skate Center has been providing the best in family fun for over 40 years in the community and has been owned and managed by the same family since 1992.

Have a great family evening after you pick up your child at 6pm, homework? check! Snack? check! Physical activity? check!
