The Clubs are open Monday-Friday all day and into the evening hours during the school year. Summer camps operate all day Monday-Friday.

All Club sites operate a summer camp program.

Club participation is affordable to all families. The most a family will pay for a child to be enrolled in our after-school program is a $15 annual membership fee and $15 per week. We also offer full-day summer camps at all locations, with a maximum fee of $65 per week. No families are turned away for inability to pay, and at all grant-funded locations, fees are always $0.

Boys & Girls Club staff, volunteers, partners and board members believe in the potential of each and every child.
