Battlefords Boys and Girls Club summer programs on now
The summer programs for the Battlefords Boys and Girls Club are well underway.
The club has a variety of different programs running during the warm months, from Summer Adventure Camps to a Blue Jays Rookie League Program and the Summer Brain Gain Program. Erin Cooper, executive assistant for the club, told battlefordsNOW about the Summer Brain Gain, a literacy and math program that starts next week.
“During the summer the kids lose some of those skills because they’re not using them as frequently,” she said. “When they go back to school, it’s been shown there is that loss. Our program is to help keep that, so when they go back to school they haven’t lost [those skills].”
The club also offers Summer Adventure Day Camps, which run weekly and include a different theme every week.
