What do I need to pick up my member(s) at The Club?
The Club can only release Club members to authorized pick-ups.
Authorized pick-ups are adults that are listed in each member(s) My Club Hub account as allowed to pick-up.
When creating a My Club Hub account, guardians create a 4-digit pick-up code. Our front desk staff will ask for this code OR a photo ID to confirm that the adult picking up is authorized.
The guardian-made 4-digit code OR a photo ID MUST be shown to our front desk staff & must match the member's My Club Hub permissions before a child will be released to an adult.
The Club will not & cannot release a member to an adult that is not authorized for pick-up or that does not have the member's 4 digit-code.
Is there a Late Pick Up Policy?
Yes! Our Late Pick-Up Policy is as follows:
There is a $10 late fee for children who are not picked up by 7:00 p.m for after-school and by 6:00 pm for Summer & Break Days. After 7:15 p.m. (6:15 pm for summer & break days), there will be an additional $1.00 for each minute thereafter. Given the limited capacity of the staff and the undue burden late pickups will cause, this policy will be strictly enforced. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.
If an emergency situation arises preventing the parent/guardian from picking up the child(ren) prior to closing time, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to coordinate alternate arrangements for pick up and to contact Club staff to let them know who will be picking up the child(ren).
Staff will make every effort to call parents/guardians and emergency contacts in case of a late pick up. If no one can be reached via phone within 30 minutes of the scheduled closing time, the police and Child Protective Services will be called.
How do I register for The Club?
To register a new member, visit My Club Hub & create an account. Create profiles for each member & pay the $20 annual membership fee.
Existing members can renew their membership by logging into My Club Hub and completing the membership renewal & paying the membership fee.
There is a 24-hour waiting period from the time a completed membership form is turned in and when the member is allowed to begin attending The Club.
What programs are available to my member during after-school programming & what days are they on?
Please visit the Club page for your Club location (Ellettsville, Ferguson Crestmont, Lincoln Street & Owen County) to see our most current Special Program Guide in order to view our current program offerings, what age group they apply to, and what day/times these programs are offered.
Why are there days that The Club is closed or closes early?
The Clubs close for a week a few times yearly: Summer Shutdown, Fall Shutdown & Winter Shutdown weeks. These weeks are used to train incoming staff, clean & organize our Club buildings, and to plan for upcoming programs & break days!
The Clubs also close early at 5:00 pm throughout the school year--This training time is used to teach our new staff and refresh our seasoned pros on important protocols, policies, and tools to keep our kids as safe as possible!
The Clubs will close if the school corporation it serves has called off school for weather or for any other reason. This includes virtual learning days.
How do I contact a Club?
