This summer we are going to repeat much of what we did last summer with a slight twist. Again we will have themes to our weeks of camp and plan many different, fun and exciting trips, but we will be mix the ages a little bit. We hope this will give more kids more choices and parents more options. Also, each week of camp, campers will spend some time swimming in local swimming holes and doing arts & crafts. Again this year we will have 7 weeks during the summer of 2010.

 

At both our Bellows Falls and Westgate Units we again will run programming that expanded on our normal school year programs and we have many special trips and activities planned, many are things you can only do in the summer.

At our Flat Street unit we will have “drop-in” hours from 12noon to 6pm daily, with teen nights on Friday night. also this summer the Flat Street teens can look forward to college visits, dances and the second annual mid-summers night sleepover.

We will also continue to feed a lot of kids this summer at all three of our sites we will provide lunch and snacks to ever young person who needs it. Last summer we served almost 120 meals per day for most of the summer, we were able to provide these meals by working in collaboration with our friends at the Brattleboro summer lunch program, the Westgate Housing authority and many community volunteers and helpers.

The summer of 2010 we hope to continue to make history for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Brattleboro and the staff and our members are looking forward to an exciting summer.
