Summer Camp at Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County gives youth a summer to remember filled with friends, outside adventures, and new discoveries. Summer Camp includes meals, snacks, field trips, and unique activities. Each week had a special theme and this year, STEM was a huge component during several of our themed weeks.
Week 6 was STEM Week: Exploration. This week centered on science, technology, engineering, and math all together in each activity to make learning challenging and fun! Members made chemical reactions, played brain games, re-designed their Club spaces with Legos, experienced career exploration through virtual reality, and went on field trips to the St. Louis Science Center and the St. Louis Magic House.
Building Great Futures means building a strong foundation of healthy habits. Week 8 included a field trip to HealthWorks! Kids' Museum St. Louis where members explored, dissected, and engaged in hands-on science activities centered on the human body.
Week 9 was Career Week: When I Grow Up. During this week, the Club introduced future young professionals to the world of different occupations. Through an age-based mix of activities, Club members explored various career paths to broaden horizons and lay the foundation for a Great Future.
It was another fun, busy, and dynamic Summer Camp for over 175 Club kids thanks to the generous support received from GlobalGiving and other key stakeholders and funders.
