When school is out – Clubs are IN!
BGC Central Vancouver Island’s Childcare programs are offered during times when young people, if left unsupervised, are at highest risk of becoming victimized or drawn into negative or criminal activities. Healthy development of the participating children is supported by fostering a sense of belonging, personal empowerment, achievement, and self-confidence.
Core Programming Areas
Our leaders engage children in activities that develop the skills and knowledge kids need to reach their full potential. Each month brings enriching hands-on learning experiences in each of 8 Core Programming areas:
- The children will get involved in physical activities for mental and physical health.
- Clubs provide them with a proper nutrition guide.
- The proximity to nature will nourish their souls.
- The staff members also provide educational support.
- Financial literacy is also one of the inclusions of BGCCVI core programming.
- The clubs help the children to enhance their social and life skills.
- The program includes creative arts for children’s skill development.
- Leadership Development, cultural diversity, and entrepreneurship are also focuses of this program.
Transportation
The fleet of BGC buses and vans also allow club members to participate in regular out trips to favorite local attractions and activities. Transportation to and from many schools is offered along with all-day care on Non-Instructional days such as Winter Break, Spring Break and Pro-D Days.
