Trips and Activities Group

Trips and Activities Group (T.A.G.) is an after school program that provides youth from the St. Peter area an opportunity to participate in sports and games and also to take trips to local parks for outdoor recreation. Activities can be soccer, basketball, capture the flag, nature hikes, and so on. It is a great way for youth to be active! Applications are available at the Middle and High Schools, and the program runs from October to early December and resumes from February to early May.
