UPPER HUTT
Based at Maidstone Pavillion (Park Rd) and run by experienced and dedicated staff, the Upper Hutt after school programme runs from 3pm – 6pm and caters for children aged 5 – 13-years old.
Safety first
All Youthtown programmes are recognised by OSCAR and built around comprehensive safety policies and procedures. Staff to child ratios differ depending on the activity taking place:
1:10 (standard after school programme)
1:8 (day trips)
1:5 (water-based activities e.g. swimming)
Need a ride?
Youthtown provides transportation from schools within 5km of Maidstone Park. Please contact us to see if we uplift from your child's school.
GYM ZONE
Fun and innovative team games like soccer, badminton and volleyball are run regularly each afternoon – a healthy and productive way of burning excess energy!
ACTION ZONE
The ultimate place to chill out after a hard day at school! Sing Star, Buzz, dress ups, pool, table tennis and marbles are just some of the cool things kids can get up to.
QUIET ZONE
The Quiet Zone is a place where kids can launch into their homework under the watchful eye of our coordinators. Once homework is complete, fun quizzes, board games and other cool activities make the Quiet Zone come to life!
OUTDOOR ZONE
Youthtown loves to take advantage of good weather! Our Outdoor Zone allows kids to run around, get involved with fun games and enjoy the fresh air.
COOKING ZONE
Mmmm mmmm! The cooking zone operates three times a week and is a great place for kids to master fun and simple recipes (not to mention the art of cleaning up)!
Rain, hail or shine!
Whatever the weather, nothing can dampen Youthtown’s after school programme. During the warm summer months, programme coordinators will often arrange visits to local parks and beaches (with parental consent of course), while programmes are run indoors during the winter.
The fun doesn’t stop when it’s raining; however Youthtown provides no television viewing for attendees.
THE LOW DOWN:
The after school programme costs vary depending on how many days your child attends and how far in advance you decide to pay. The following table provides a guideline to our fees:

Youthtown requires this to be paid two weeks in advance. As the programme is substantially subsidised there are no refunds for non-attendance.
