When school is out, we're just getting started! During school vacations and summer recess we offer a wide variety of structured camp programs that help to develop and nurture children into future leaders of tomorrow.
From the time school is out in June until school begins again in the fall there is a significant period of time when youth have an opportunity to learn and further develop outside of the classroom. Especially for urban youth, the summer months can be some of the most critical of their lives.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South operates several summer camp programs from late June through late August and all provide safe, positive environments where children can develop self-confidence and social skills, build lasting relationships with peers and counselors, work to improve their grasp of core academic disciplines, increase their level of physical fitness, and explore their creativity - all while enjoying the fun and freedom that define summer as it should be.
During the summer months youth have the opportunity to learn and further develop outside of the classroom. Young people need environments that offer positive peer and adult relationships, guidance, structure, high expectations and opportunities to try new things. That's exactly what our fun, safe, and affordable summer programs provide!
A summer spent at camp provides unique opportunities to hone life skills that help kids become more confident, understanding, driven and independent in all areas of their lives. It's amazing what a few weeks in the right place can do for a child...
