About Us

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bainbridge Island is a dedicated youth service agency, serving young people ages 5 to 18.  Our programs include after school drop-in activities, summer, winter and spring full day camps for Club Members from Kindergarten through 8th grade, as well as outreach programs for teens, including late night activities and Keystone Club. Participation in our programs requires only a Boys & Girls Club membership ($35 per year), and minimal program fee for after school   drop-in programs, day camps and early release days.  The Club also offers volunteer, community service, and employment opportunities for youth and teens

 

We received our official charter from Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1999, and have grown to a membership of over 700 youth.  After years in temporary locations, a  capital campaign and collaborative arrangement with the Bainbridge Island Parks & Recreation District resulted in the construction of our first dedicated home at the Bainbridge Aquatic Center in October, 2002.

 

We are proud to be a branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County, which is the second largest in the nation.  Though they offer us administrative support we, like all Boys & Girls Clubs, are required to be supported by local funding and is guided by an Advisory Board of local citizens. All funds raised by our Club remain here in this community, to provide programs for Island youth.
