The Pleasant Green UMC Afterschool is in its 19th year. The goal of the Pleasant Green UMC Afterschool / Summer Camp Program is to provide a safe and healthy environment, and to cultivate in each child values of love, learning, sharing, caring for others, friendship, and self-reliance. We strive to provide special home-like care in a loving Christian community.
2009 - 2010 Afterschool
Care is provided at Pleasant Green United Methodist Church from 2:45-5:45pm each Monday-Friday during the school year. The children attending Cameron Park Elementary School arrive at Afterschool on the school bus. Those attending Pathways Elementary and Orange Charter are picked up by the Pleasant Green bus. We are also open for most teacher workdays and all early release days.
A non-refundable registration fee is due the first day the child attends 
Afterschool.
The fee is $30 for church members and $40 for non-members.
(Maximum registration fee per church family is $50/ non-church member is $70)

This summer we will present our 18th musical "Go, Go Jonah." For the last 18 years, the highlight of each Summer Camp has been the musical production, involving approximately 50 children. Cindy Clark, public school chorus teacher, has been our musical director for the past 17 years. This wonderful week of learning a Bible story through song is provided at no extra cost to campers and free-of-charge to the church and community children. Another activity the children especially enjoy is entertaining and serving a lunch to their grandparents and the “Pleasant Greeners,” our church senior citizen group. These events play a significant role in bringing the Summer Camp Program, our church, and the community together.
