The Boys & Girls Club McKee Branch is gearing up for summer programs and, according to Branch Director Lauren Stratton, the local Club has a lot of activities planned for the coming months.

This year’s summer program begins May 30 and continues weekly through Aug. 4, from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day.

Participants can sign up week by week for $150 per week. The Club will also offer specialized classes during the weekly sessions that can be incorporated on an ala carte basis for $35 each. Courses are open to students from kindergarten through sixth grade, for students entering those grades next fall.

“We have some new, exciting classes being offered this summer,” said Stratton. “We have partnered with STEAM Science and Robotics, Odyssey of the Mind Afterschool, CodaKid and AZ Freestyle Judo to bring new opportunities to our members.”

Some of the specialized courses include various robotics programs, Dynamic Art, Origami, Time Machine Blueprints, Paper Mache, Hooray for Clay, Print Making, Kid Detectives and Kaboom Science.

Also on offer this summer will be a Kindergarten Jump Start program partnering with Fountain Hills Unified School District educators in order to prepare young learners for their first big year in the classroom.
