Our school-age programs (KidzQuest, RISE, Mega Middle School Mania) at Virginia Beach City Public Schools and in our Recreation Centers, operate concurrently with the Virginia Beach City Public Schools school-year operating calendar.
- On adjusted dismissal days, our after-school programs begin once the students have been released from school, without any additional cost to you.
- Our programs are closed for most Holidays. Please refer to the school year payment schedule for specific dates.
- We offer all-day break camps at select recreation centers for an additional fee for most days when schools are closed and we are open.
The Early Childhood programs at Bow Creek, Kempsville, Princess Anne and Williams Farm Recreation Centers operate in accordance with the City’s (Recreation Center) operating schedule.
