Great Summers Start at the Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem!

Since 1930, the Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem (BGCOB) has been serving young people in Bethlehem and surrounding communities in the Lehigh Valley. Through our mission, we aim fill the vulnerable gap between school and home, providing young people with a safe place to learn, play, and build community.

The most vulnerable gap between school and home is the one that occurs during summer break.

Safe & Accessible Programming - During the summer months we provide programming at 3 locations in Bethlehem:

Northeast Clubhouse - Programming at our main facility includes Art, Sports, STEM, Gardening, and Teen specific programming.
Yosko Park - BGCOB Staff provide programs and activities for any and all young people that come to the park Monday - Friday.
Summer Day Camp - at a minimal cost of $50/week/child, we provide an affordable program for families in need of a safe and engaging summer experience from 8:00am - 6:00pm (Monday - Friday). When parents/guardians are working, they can rest assured their children are having a fun summer without having to make tough financial decisions.

Food Security - Every Club kid and Park Program participant are provided with a snack and meal provided by the Bethlehem Area School District.

Summer Learning & Physical Activity - Our educational and recreational programs help kids & teens combat summer learning loss and physically fit.

A Fun Summer to Remember - Whether they are engaging in our weekly summer art program, swimming at Yosko pool, playing with friends on the playground, reading with support from a volunteer or mentor, or simply socializing with friends, we are focused on providing Club kids with summer that they will enjoy and help prepare them for the school year ahead!
