Youth Enrichment and After-School Statistics (2026)
Parents of 29.6 million U.S. children want an after-school program. 6.95 million children are enrolled, and 22.6 million more would be if a program were available (Afterschool Alliance, 2025). More than 20,000 camps serve 26 million campers a year (American Camp Association). Self-enrichment teachers earn a median $46,800 a year (BLS, May 2025).
This page collects the numbers people who run after-school programs, camps and kids classes get asked for: by lenders, by school partners, by reporters, and by themselves at 9pm. Each figure comes from a primary source, with the year of the data, a link, and the date we opened it. It is free to read and free to cite.

How many kids attend after-school programs, and how many want to?
In 2025, 6.95 million U.S. children, 13%, were enrolled in an after-school program. Parents of 29.6 million children want one, so 22.6 million children are left without a seat. Those figures come from America After 3PM, fifth edition, a survey of 30,515 parents fielded January 31 to April 21, 2025 and published in October 2025.

What do families pay for after-school programs, and what keeps kids out?
Parents who pay for an after-school program pay $124.10 a week on average, according to America After 3PM 2025.

Among U.S. shoppers who abandoned a checkout, 40% said extra costs were too high and 18% left because the site required an account.

How was this page put together?
Primary sources only. Every figure here was read on the publisher's own page or report on September 17, 2026: the survey owner, the federal agency, or the company that ran the experiment. We left out statistics roundups, market-size estimates from research firms, and any number we couldn't open at its origin. Each row gives the year of the data, which is often earlier than the year of publication. The third column of each table links to the exact document.
Two limits to know. First, we found no public study of how many parents abandon a kids program registration, so the checkout section uses ecommerce and payments research and says so. Second, a count of U.S. kids activity businesses belongs here, and the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns tables are the right source. That count is not on this page.
