Did you know?! Urban Adventure Squad is now a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The IRS approved our status as a nonprofit in March 2017. Your tax-deductible, charitable donation will help us support more working families and their children with enriching, community-based, experiential learning programs all over the D.C. area--and beyond!

Registration is now OPEN for fall 2017
When school's out, the Squad is IN! On days when schools are closed, we support working families with community-based, experiential learning programs. You can register now for our fall 2017 school-year programs right up through winter break.
Students learn about environmental science and stewardship by hiking through Rock Creek Park, fishing in the Anacostia River, and clearing invasive species from local greenspaces; about the arts and arts production by going on behind-the-scenes tours of local theaters, meeting student filmmakers, and taking hip-hop and drumming workshops at local nonprofits; and about local history by hiking through neighborhoods, meeting archaeologists, and visiting local historic homes.
When will you hear back from UAS when registering?
Registration is a two-step process: first you register, then we confirm that we have space in the program(s) you're registering for and send you payment info to confirm your spot(s).
Why are we opening registration so early?
We started UAS to support working families, and the many days when schools are closed present a significant challenge for families. These "gap days" also present incredible opportunities for community-based experiential, hands-on, and outdoor learning. To do what we do requires time, meticulous planning, and resources. We rely heavily on program fees and registration numbers to plan the best possible programs at a reasonable cost to families.
