New Club clubs

Every quarter the Boys & Girls Club has staff run mini-groups focusing on special age groups and life skills. Beginning in April we will be offering:

Good Fellas - A male teen program lead by Greg. Teens will talk about "boy stuff" and have the opportunity to hear about different professions from community leaders.

Art Basics - Jessica will be leading any aged Club member in learning about art supplies. Members will learn exactly how to use art supplies and create masterpieces.

Running Club - Tuesdays and Thursdays are Running Club. Whether in the gym or outside, kids have the opportunity to get out their energy while running. After a certain amount of mileage, members will get a pizza party.

Gardening Club - This club has been especially popular with Club members for the past 3 years now. Participants learn about gardening while getting first hand experience getting dirty in the Ferndale Community Garden. Summer food will be used for snacks and donated to the Ferndale Food Bank.


Dance Club - Children love to move and Dance club gives kids the chance to learn new dance moves while also doing free movement.

Cavity Free Zone - Every Wednesday, members learn the importance of healthy dental habits.

Kelso's Choice - Club members ages 8 - 10 years old learn about making good choices and peer mediation. This is a great opportunity to make members feel involved and in control of their own actions.

Smart Girls - This is a female teen program lead by Courtney. Girls discuss girly things and what it means to be a successful, positive woman.

Keystone - Every Friday, teens have a chance to get together and talk about how they want their teen program to run at the Boys & Girls Club. With elected officials, teens discuss how they want the teen room to operate and what they can do to help in the local community.

Career Launch - This is another teen program that focuses on helping teens learn how to be successful and they steps they need to take to seek employment for their futures.


To find out exactly when these programs run weekly, please come into the Club and grab our Fishwrapper. We have a monthly calendar that will give you all the details (plus more information about other things we are doing)! Check it out.
