Boys & Girls Club of Brockton hasn't added a story.
The eight short weeks that devide each school year are an unparalleled opportunity for kids to learn and grow. From making memories and forging friendships, to learning new skills and exploring activities for the first time - a summer spent at camp is an experience that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, not all kids have the chance to benefit from the opportunities for social, emotional, physical, and academic growth that summer camps provide; with the average American family reportedly paying upwards of $2,000 per child for camp each summer.
At the Boys & Girls Club of Brockton we believe that all youth deserve to be engaged in fun, quality programming and experience the many benefits that camp is proven to provide. We work hard to ensure that our Summer Champ Camp remains affordable and accessible for Brockton's families, with a two-week session costing just $100 per child. This $100 fee for service helps to offset the costs of operating our Summer Champ Camp, which runs Monday-Friday (July 6th-August 28th) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and in addition to impactful programming provides a nutritious breakfast and lunch to each and every child each day.
Despite the comparatively low cost of our program, there are a number of Brockton families that struggle to afford out-of-school-time activities for thier children. Your support today will help to provide invaluable financial aid and "camperships" to kids in our community who deserve the same opportunities for summer growth and development as all children, but who are unlikely to access them without assistance. Every $100 raised represents a two-week session of camp and a lifetime of memories for a child in our community. With your help, our goal is to raise $2,500 - representing the cost of providing 25 kids with a two-week session of camp. It truly takes a village (or in our case, a city) to raise a child and your gift of $10, $20, $50, $100, or more today will help children across Brockton access quality, life-changing programs designed to help them achieve great futures.
