When school is out, our Clubs are in! This includes summertime through Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County’s KidsCamp. KidsCamp provides a safe, fun place for members during summer vacation. Offering a variety of activities that cater to the Clubs’ five core program areas including Character & Leadership Development; Education & Career Development; Health & Life Skills; the Arts; and Sports, Fitness, and Recreation, KidsCamp is a fun and affordable summer option for youth ages four to 12.
This summer, youth participating in KidsCamp will enjoy outside playground visits, weekly field trips, new skills classes like cooking, creation camps, and library trips. Weekly field trips will include fun-filled visits to places like the Brauer Museum of Art, Zao Island, National Lake Shore – and more!
