Yes, if it is so ordered in the child support agreement.

Does non custodial parent pay for school activity's?

It really depends on how the court has structured the support. In the event of a divorce or other court ordered settlement for child support, the non-custodial may have to pay 50% of everything, or just the monthly support. If this is state ordered support (i.e. in the case of paternity issues, where there was no real relationship), the non-custodial parent usually only has to pay monthly support. I would suggest looking into the support documents to determine what needs to be paid.
