• '24-'25 Afterschool Registration

    Boys & Girls Club of the Big Country - Colman County
  • Image-440

  • Applying for the Boys & Girls Club Afterschool program does not automatically admit your child(ren) into any other program, including future Afterschool Programs and Summer Club.

    Monthly dues for Afterschool are $40/month per child ($20 for Aug). Membership is on a first come/first served basis and is limited by transportation capacity. Once you have received notice your child(ren) have a spot in our program you will receive a payment link. You will be asked to pay for Aug and Sept ($60/child) to save your spot(s). Registration is not complete until payment is received. All dues will have to be paid in advance. We will not accept checks or payments at the club sites for registration.

    Kindergarteners are accepted on a trial basis and the Director will assess if the Club is a good fit for him/her. WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN KINDERGARTEN.

     

    The Coleman County Boys & Girls Club will open the first day of school based on the school district your child is coming from.

    We are closed when school is closed (based on the school calendar and bad weather days). However we will open early on Early Release Days. There will be a separate Spring Break Camp avalible.   

     

    All information will come to you via the email you put on this application. **We are not responsible for you missing information or deadlines due to failing to check your email.**

    Please check your spam folder if you do not receive correspondence.
