MetroWest Boys And Girls Club Summer Programs Start Soon

FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Boys and Girls Clubs of MetroWest will kick off a slate of summer programs on June 29, although this year's programs will be modified due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The BGCMW will offer programming at its Framingham, Hudson, and Marlborough locations through August. Here's more from a press release:

The Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest (BGCMW) is offering multiple summer programming options for MetroWest youth this summer. Our traditional Summer Program will be open at each of the three Clubhouses — Framingham, Marlborough and Hudson, as well as at Francis J. Kane Elementary School in Marlborough. This in-person opportunity has a limited number of openings in each location in accordance with the Massachusetts state reopening guidelines.

Although field trips are not possible this year, kids will be participating in STEM activities, arts and craft projects, and fun physical games. Extensive cleaning precautions and health screenings will help keep youth and families safe white at the Clubs. The Summer Program will be running June 29 to Aug, 21. All Clubs are still taking registrations, and you can download registration paperwork by visiting www.bgcmetrowest.org.

The Clubs are also offering a new Virtual Summer Program. BGCMW staff will be running programs and activities through Zoom and YouTube for kids to participate in at home. Similarly to the in-person option, children will get instructions for at-home science experiments and arts and crafts. There will also be yoga, Zumba, and freeze dance for physical activities. This virtual program will be held Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon. Click here for more information about this remote option.
