Before/After School Programs & School Vacation Camps
Make Every Moment Count
Staff members plan fun-filled schedules incorporating everything from painting and playing games to cooking and community service. Structured activities are mixed with supervised recreation to ensure members enjoy down time as well as opportunities for learning and enrichment. Our caring counselors encourage even the shyest members to step outside their comfort zone.
Ages served
Our school age sites welcome children in grades K-4 (“Junior Program”) and grades 5-8 (“Senior Program”). High school students are invited to drop in to our main clubhouses in Concord, Laconia and Suncook after school.
Transportation, Hours, School Vacation
Transportation is provided from many local elementary and middle schools. The Club does not provide transportation home in the evenings. Most sites are open until 5:30 or 6 pm and are available for early release days and school breaks (starting at 7 am); all locations serve a snack and our main clubhouses serve dinner. Families are welcome to register for school vacations only.
Membership and Weekly Fees
We have a two-step registration process. In Step 1, you’ll fill out a membership application for your child and pay a $40 application fee. You only have to do this once per year. In Step 2, you’ll register your child for a program, such as the after school program, summer camp or afterhours art. You can register for as many programs as you wish. The weekly fee for the before and after school programs is $182.90 but members pay no more than $100 per week and often much less, depending on family income. School vacation weeks are an extra $40 on top of what your weekly fee is. For example, if your weekly fee is $80, you’ll be charged $120 for school vacation weeks.
Club Financial Assistance
We strongly encourage you to apply for a State of New Hampshire Child Care Scholarship– it’s there to help organizations like us stay in business without passing costs along to you! If you don’t qualify or are unable to apply for a State of NH Child Care Scholarship, the Boys & Girls Club offers a reduced fee based on family income. To apply for Club assistance, please follow instructions in the after school program enrollment application to upload proof of income. Documentation may include three most recent pay stubs, Social Security benefits, food stamps explanation of benefits, etc. Members will be charged the full fee until proof of income or State enrollment is confirmed.
State of New Hampshire Financial Assistance
We encourage you to see if the state of New Hampshire will help pay for the cost of camp! They have increased their income limits so that more families are covered! To find out more and apply, please visit this site. While you wait for the state scholarship decision, you’re welcome to enroll but must pay the full rate. Once any payments are received from the state and applied to your account, the credits can be used for future fees. If the credit balance exceeds $100 we would be happy to refund your credit card upon request. Please reach out to your site director if you need help with the process.
