At school, my son plays soccer and trombone. He is in student council. He writes for the school paper. He is a member of the comic book club. He also took a wonderful trip to Williamsburg Virgina.
My daughter went on a farm trip and is playing the recorder and singing in chorus.

Joan Mitchell foundation art program:
joanmitchellfoundation.org
On Saturdays from 10:30 - 1:30 my son, the artist, is enrolled in the Joan Mitchell Foundation Middle School Portfolio Preparation art class. He submitted 5 drawing and completed an application detailing his artistic goals in order to be selected for the program. The program includes all of the art materials. They go on trips to art museums. It is located in Manhattan in a newly renovated building.
On Saturdays from 11:00-2:00 my daughter, the fashionista, is enrolled in the Joan Mitchell Saturday Studio art class. All of the art materials are included as well. Her class is located in Brooklyn.
Note: It is difficult to travel back and forth through boroughs but this weekend I realized I had just enough time to squeeze in some yoga at Yoga to the People in the East Village. http://yogatothepeople.com/new-york/ This is free as well (donations are welcome) and kids are welcome to come as well.
I love both locations but the Manhattan site is very modern. I love that my son is with artist that draw as well as or better than him. After the first day he noted 4 artist had drawn the plant better than him.
New York City Parks Department

The Parks department offers tons of free and low cost activities for children all over New York.
-After School
Both children are signed up for after school through the parks department. My son rarely attends and my daughter goes a few days on some weeks but it is a safe and free place to go until I come from work.

-Swimming
At the same facility where they are signed up for after school, there are free swim lessons available on Tuesdays and Thursday. My children go once per week. As an avid swimmer myself, I feel it is important that everyone know how to swim,

-Golf
The first tee offers programs all over the world. In NYC they have classes at the Brooklyn Golf Center, Monshulu Golf Center in the Bronx, The Harlem Golf center and at Chelsea Piers.
The sessions run in 7 week intervals at a cost of $25. What a bargain! Golf materials are available on site. They offer classes on both Saturday and Sunday.
Aviator Club

-Gymnastics
My daughter wants to do beauty pageants, ballet, sing and do gymnastics. So I researched all over the internet and found the Aviator Club to have reasonably priced and the location in right across the street from golf. Perfect!
Have you found any great deals in NYC?
