Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford, Inc. Summer Fun Club

Summer Fun Club program at Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford (BGCH) provides a structured and safe summer program for children between the ages of 6-13 at our Club sites throughout the City of Hartford. Our Summer Fun Club provides a comprehensive experience that will enable and empower youth participants to discover and develop their individual intellectual, social, and physical potential, as well as expose them to communal responsibilities. There will be significant focus on academic success and achievement, aiming to limit learning loss for these youth during the summer months. BGCH focuses all of its programs around three priority outcomes: Academic Success, Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. The uniqueness of the summer program lies in the positive and close relationships that are formed and maintained between staff, families, and youth. Staff and volunteers who are encouraging, nurturing role models are the heart of the program and the key to its success. A partnership among staff, parents, and teachers helps to foster learning and provides an enriched support network for members, making BGCH uniquely positioned to best serve our youth.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford’s 7-week Summer Fun Club has no attendance requirements. While there is no mandatory attendance, the Club strongly encourages youth to participate as frequently as possible to mitigate the risk of summer learning loss. The more consistent attendance, the greater the opportunity for the youth to benefit from the diverse range of activities and learning experiences offered during the program.
