Odyssey After School Enrichment Program

Odyssey After School strengthens and enhances the academic, physical, and psychological development of its students in a safe and nurturing environment.

Odyssey After School was established in 2002 to meet a need that existed in Aransas County. The statistics showed that over 50% of first through sixth graders were going home in the afternoon unsupervised. With the cooperation of community leaders, local law enforcement, and the Office of the Governor, Odyssey received a juvenile justice award that funded the program's beginnings.

Odyssey endeavors to extend the school day and enhance our student's learning with fun, innovative programs that build on the concepts presented in school. Our enrichment programs offer opportunities to our kids that many would not otherwise experience. Golf, tennis, fine arts, crafts, sewing, engineering programs, cooking classes, physical fitness programs, junior lifesaving, crabbing, gardening, yoga, publishing, music lessons, swim lessons, 4H, and photography are just a few of Odyssey's enrichment programs.

Testimonials

"My child has been in the Odyssey program for a total of 4 years. The program has provided her with numerous opportunities to learn new skills and participate in activities that I would not be able to afford for her. I cannot underestimate the value of the Odyssey program to this community. Odyssey is the only option for after-school care in Rockport, and its programs are outstanding. The program is very popular among both children and parents. Each year, I've seen the program grow to accommodate the need in our town."
