After school club...what happens at yours?

What happens at your afterschool club? At my sons (3 to 430) it seems that all they do is watch tv (tom and jerry) and get a snack.
I expected some opportunities to draw (a table with paper and colours), lego 'station', using the playground (they use the playground for kids who stay till 6 after 430) etc. Just trying to see if my expectations were unreasonable

Games, craft, playground. PlayStation games. Reading. They did watch tv but I only at the very end of the day.

Playground, football, arts and crafts, games, can do homework if they want to, reading. All sorts.

They do their homework , then largely free play with options to do an organised activity (making halloween decorations, etc ) if they want. They occasionally have a movie day but infrequently.

Mine stays until 5:30pm - they play with toys, run on the field/playground, use outdoor toys when weather permits, have light tea/snack, watch TV sometimes or play with the Wii. I'm happy with it being pretty chilled and have no expectation of it being educational or anything - just pleased to have the childcare!

Thanks. These all sounds like my expectation. I do not expect it to be educational, but expected something more than just TV and food.
