Summer Camp Applications
We are already excited for summer! Applications for our annual ZAP Summer Day Camp are open !
Our summer camp is filled with busy days Monday to Friday with trips all over town every week. Time at The Club is spent playing outside in our huge field or fenced in backyard, playing with our ever changing selection of toys and games, doing crafts in our art center, or playing in either of our large indoor gyms.
Fees for the camp are only $150 a week/child. Some subsidies are also available for those who qualify.
Junior Miss and our friends at Girls Inc.
The Boys and Girls Club is very happy to announce that we will be housing programs run by Girls Inc during our Junior Miss activities. Girls Inc will be hosting their Media Smarts program every Sunday from 2pm-3pm which will be free for all girls attending the Junior Miss program.
The program gives girls a chance to increase their awareness of the scope and power of the media and the effects of media messages on themselves. They learn to evaluate for themselves what they see and hear in the media and advocate for change in entertainment, news, and advertising. Girls have the opportunity to create media that are realistic and reflective of their lives. They also learn about media-related careers and the positive use of the media.
For further information on Girls Inc or any of their programs feel free to call them at (780)790-9236
Children, Programs and Parents - Get Involved! The Boys and Girls Club encourages parents to get involved in their children's play and development. Whether you child is a toddler or a young adult, we have a program for them! Parents have access to our facility and their children at all times during a program so that they may participate and monitor their child's progress. Our helpful and qualified staff can answer any questions and alleviate any concerns that you may have. In addition, parents are always welcome to donate their time, skills, or resources to The Club. A little goes a long way!!
Volunteer. Help us Help our Children By volunteering at The Club you are supporting current and future generations of our children. We can use your help in many ways. You don't have to be a skilled child care professional [we have plenty of them on staff]. What we really need are people just like you, willing to give a little of their time, maybe get their hands a little dirty and go home knowing you have helped The Club help the children. Find out more by calling Erika at 780-791-7775 today.
