Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL) offers one of the most affordable, comprehensive, extended, high quality summer day camp programs for kids and teens in the St. Louis region. Our summer campers, ages 6-18, are exposed to a variety of learning and participate in educational, recreational, and social activities as well as field trips, social recreation, and cultural activities on-site and in the community. Camps also include a nutritious breakfast and lunch.
BGCSTL will have summer camp at nine locations including the new Teen Center of Excellence (TCOE) in Ferguson, Missouri. At the center, teens will have access to a nutrition education center, outdoor garden, gymnasium, intellectual commons, theater, green and drama room, fitness zone, gaming room, music and art studio, innovation center and more. Programs at the TCOE include health and wellness (i.e., yoga, healthy habits, open gym), education and workforce development (i.e., college tours, ACT/SAT prep, tutoring, job readiness, internships and summer employment), STEAM (i.e., visual and performing arts, coding, app creation, robotics) and leadership and civic engagement (i.e., community service, character programs, advocacy training).
Summer will truly be a fun and dynamic experience that will spark creativity, engagement, and explorations! Swimming, teen and STEM programs, college and career readiness programs, sports as well as field trips are just a few of the things campers can experience.
Summer campers who are interested in writing, producing or singing will enjoy our Music Studio program led by Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter Alonzo “Zo” Lee. Students will be fully engaged in the songwriting/ recording process and create a song from start to finish. While youth who aspire to become coders, graphic designers, 3D animators or game developers will have access to our Best Buy Teen Tech Center at our Herbert Hoover Club. The center is an interactive and innovative fully equipped space with everything needed to engage youth ages 12-18 with STEAM activities including a music studio, 3D printer, t-shirt press maker, coding stations, state of the art computers, monitors and virtual reality headsets.
Registration is now open at www.bgcstl.org or call 314-335-8000 with questions.
