future. The BGCD Summer

7* a.m. and 6 p.m., youth, ages six to 14, are invited to join us for a
variety of activities. Under the full-time supervision of our professionally

programs have achieved documented, positive results. Each day, the Clubs
will serve lunch or a snack. (Please call your Club for details and

Sports Camp
Sports Camp programs offer lessons in a variety of athletics. The camp
instructors teach children age-appropriate rules and techniques of various
sports including soccer, track and field, swimming, and basketball. Through
learning rules, positions, and drills, the children develop self-esteem,
self-respect, and leadership skills. Parental permission slips must be on
file for children to participate in the swimming activity.
Art Camp
Sharpen your pencils…and your imaginations! From Drawing and Composition,
Color Explorers, and Making Crafts to Space Explorers, Photography, Drawing
classes, and Storybooks and Illustrations, members will enjoy exploring the
world of art! Under the direction of a college-educated, professional staff,
they’ll learn to make pottery and crafts, take photographs, create animals
from paper mache’, compose stories, or creatively design their ideal city
with classmates. On occasion, art shows will display members’ skills and
field trips will be offered.
Computer Camp
Children are the future…and the future is technology. Members can enhance
their computer skills by enrolling in Skill Tech and Internet Safety, Design
Tech, Web Tech, Typing, MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint classes. Our
certified trainers are qualified to instruct members, while encouraging self
expression. At the conclusion of each course, members will feel more
confident in their ability to operate in today’s environment.
