Welcome to the 2017 Winter CCPS Activities Guide!

With the new year right around the corner, we wanted to share the many opportunities available to students. This edition of the CCPS Activities Guide is filled with a wide variety of activities for your children and family to enjoy. Whether your child’s interests lie in sports, arts, or music, there are tons of options throughout the community. Inside this guide, you will find listings for after-school programs and classes offered in our area. We asked our local businesses and organizations to share their information in the hope that CCPS families can easily find the perfect activity for their children. The guide is distributed to nearly 50,000 students across the district. It is our goal to include as many businesses as possible. The final edition of the CCPS Activities Guide for the 2017-18 school year will be distributed in early April. We will have all sorts of great information on summer activities and camps your children are sure to enjoy. I wish you all well this holiday season and I hope you enjoy your time off with family and friends. See you in 2018! Thank you, Kamela Patton, Ph.D. Superintendent
