The Boys and Girls Club of Mission will be registering for its Summer Program on May 2, 2016 beginning at 8:00 a.m. All
members will be subjected to a structured environment where emphasis will be placed on academic development and healthy
lifestyles. Each member will be moving throughout the day to various activities including Reading, Math and recreational
activities. Furthermore, each member will receive at least one nutritional meal and a snack throughout the day.
This summer will see various changes and hopefully, a more positive experience for your children. We will have several camps
planned-out throughout the summer. Each camp will be advertised ahead of time so that you may have the opportunity to
enroll your child (children) in plenty of time. Also, we still have our field-trips to the Ice Skating Rink, Movies and Nature Walks
all summer long.
Listed below are the specific schedules and timelines for each unit. Be advised that all dues must be paid before the first day
of the Summer Program. All times for drop-off and pick-up must be strictly enforced. A Membership Registration must be on file
and all signatures and initials have to be in place before your child may attend. If you have any questions whatsoever you may

summer experience.
