2012 Summer Program at Boys & Girls Club starts May 29

Registration is under way for 2012 summer program at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Louisiana set for May 29-Aug. 17. The 12-week program will be held at the 500 Evergreen Street site in West Monroe.

Executive Director Tom Morris said the fees for the summer program will remain the same as last year: $45 per week for the first child in a family and $25 per week each for the second and third child. Maximum family weekly fee will be $140. Club members must pay their annual $10 membership fee, plus a $25 registration/summer activity fee in addition to the weekly fees.

“Those who take part in the program are obligated to pay for the 12 weeks,” Morris said. “Normally by the first of May we are filled in several age groups and will begin waiting lists.”

A child must be five years of age and have completed a year of kindergarten to take part in the Club’s summer program.

There are a limited number of scholarships available for the summer program.

Morris said there is a daily free swim time of 4:30-6 pm in the Club pool for club members who do not participate in the summer program. A $10 annual membership fee is required.

B&GCNELA’s summer activities include arts, computer lab, gymnasium, games room, and swimming pool. Program hours are 7:30-5:30 on weekdays.

To register for the Club’s summer program, contact Lynn May at 323-1644. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Louisiana is a partner agency of the United Way of Northeast Louisiana.

Applications will be taken until all spots are filled. A waiting list will be compiled at that time.
