105 dated listings for school-age kids in Richmond in the next 60 days — after-school, camps, courses and youth sports, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.
Kids life in Richmond — the short version
If you're raising kids in Richmond, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Dec 5, Richmond's feed lists 105 dated listings for this age — 28 different programs, covering after-school, camps, courses and youth sports. Most of it runs at Brighouse (49) and Ironwood (28).
Everything here is a real listing from Richmond's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 5–12 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door. The library branches showing up for this age are Steveston Library (Easthope Hub).

Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Richmond: 105 dated listings in the next 60 days; 79 run after school on a weekday and 18 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Brighouse with 49 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Richmond's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions
What's on in Richmond for school-age kids right now?
The feed lists 105 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Dec 5 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for school-age kids in Richmond?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
