CSDB After School / Recreation Program

This program includes a wide variety of activities scheduled Mondays through Thursdays from 3:00 - 5:00p.m. Recreational activities at CSDB are planned for pleasure and as creative outlets for residential and non-residential students during leisure time. Some of activities provide opportunities for students to develop leadership skills which positively affect their self - esteem and increase their ability to work together cooperatively. Students also learn the value of service to school and the community. Some age appropriate activities they may choose to participate in include the following:

Scouting Softball club Horseback Riding Lessons Goalball Hunting Arts and crafts

Tennis courts, a swimming pool, two gymnasiums, two running tracks (one with rails for students who are blind/visually impaired), two outdoor basketball courts, softball field, track/football field, two playgrounds, and a two-lane bowling alley are located on campus for the students to use during their leisure time.

The Bulldog Activity Center, located in the gym, is an excellent place for social activities. The center provides an informal space for relaxing, playing games, reading magazines or books, and hosting parties. It is equipped with a pool table, an air hockey table, ping pong table, foosball game, a dart board, bingo board, a TV/VCR, a stereo system and casual furnishings. We usually open the gym for students to play various of games during the evenings. All of this, of course, is contingent upon the student's completion of their homework assignments and their daily chores.

In conjunction with the academic program, the staff strives to create an environment that is both educational and recreational. Through this comprehensive program, students learn how to use their time wisely and how to balance their personal lives with their "school" lives.
