The Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County continues to reach out to the children in the community. Currently the After School Program for the school year 2016-2017 will come to an end and Summer Camp will begin. It is important that the Boys & Girls Clubs remain open and available to all children throughout the year. Our doors will remain open to all boys and girls from 6 to 18 years of age. We accept all children, especially those who need us the most. No child is turned away. Membership is only $25 per year. Summer Camp will incur additional fees due to the long hours of operation and additional opportunities that are provided the children. If it were not for the Clubs, many children would be left home along and without supervision. In the summer, this may be all day and after school, it may be for hours. This is a time when children may engage in behavior that will lead to trouble with their parents and sometimes the law enforcement. This is one of the many reasons the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County is important and fills that need.
Programs take place all year at the Boys & Girls Club. We do not want our children to experience the loss of their drive of learning when they are out of school during the summer months. We have programs that a designed to continualy peek the child's interest during the summer months and keep them engaged in the learning process. Also Summer Camp provides two healthy nutritious meals and a snack daily. Hunger does not take a holiday.
Members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County Board of Directors and Staff are deligently working to dispose of the debt that was incurred through the construction of the new facility. We are not debt free but look to the future when that will happen and all monetary fundraising efforts will be applied to the valuable programs offered at the Clubs. This will be a highly celebrated day at the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County.
