Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade are offering unique summer programs from Monday, June 12, through Friday Aug. 4, including indoor and outdoor activities, field trips and more.
Registration is taking place for the 2017 Summer Program at Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, which will be held locally at the Hank Kline and Kendall clubs. The summer program allows children to learn values such as friendship, honesty and teamwork by providing a safe and secure environment in which they can express and develop such relationships.
Summer programs are open to all boys and girls ages 5–16 (must be entering kindergarten in the fall; cannot turn 17 before Sept. 1), and run Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; however, counselors will be available to supervise children beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 6 p.m.
The summer programs at all clubs are staffed by qualified full-time and summer staff.
During the summer programs, children participate in fun indoor activities such as arts and crafts, computer room, game room, table games, movie room, basketball and much more. Outdoor activities include all types of organized group games. Field trips are also offered to exciting locations and events such as the movies, bowling, Chuck E. Cheese, swimming field trips for older groups and more.
A free nutritious lunch and afternoon snack will be provided daily at no additional cost, or children may bring their own lunch. At each club, awards will be given to recognize the boys and girls who have made a positive contribution to the summer program.
