Out-Of-School-Time Experience

The Youth Development Company/Police Athletic League (YDC/PAL) offers Out-of-School Time (OST) programs designed to support families in Bangor, Coloma, Gobles, Lawrence, and South Haven school districts.

The OST programs at YDC include Before School, After School, Summer Day Camp, and PAL Clubs for engaging your 1st through 8th grade children and encouraging them through education, socializing and fun!

• Physical Activity: Opportunities to play and socialize in a safe setting.

• Healthy Snacks: Nutritious options to keep energy levels up.

With class sizes ranging from 15 to 25 students and programs accommodating 40–70 kids per location, OST ensures personalized attention and a community feel.

Comprehensive Development

Beyond daily activities, OST encompasses:

• Academic Support: Enhancing learning outside the classroom.
