These youngsters attend the Alki Kid's Place after school program, located on the lower level of the Alki United Church of Christ, 6115 S.W. Hinds St.

"The attendance is down somewhat because of the economy," said Cheryl Snyder, director. "If one parent loses a job, the kids will be home with them after school."

The school is offering a day camp March 20 with arts and crafts and the beach, and Tae Kwon Do Camp March 30-April 3.
