After-School Program
BGCG offers an After-School Program for ages 6-18 from 3:00 – 6:00 PM, Monday-Friday at the Clubhouse. Groups are divided by grade-
levels and are supervised by BGCG Staff members. Each group has their own room or “base area” and spends the majority of their time
in that area throughout the afternoon. After-School programs promote our three key areas: Academic Success and Enrichment, Character
Development, and Healthy Lifestyles. Each group has time for additional activities for gross motor skills, arts and crafts, board games, small
group activities, STEM and educational opportunities.
