Youth programs

Summer Day Camp: The summer day camp has been a neighborhood affair since 1990. The children keep coming back year-after-year. We service sixty to eighty K thru 6 grade children each summer FREE OF CHARGE. Over ninety-percent of the children in our problem are low-income. We provide a healthy environment where children can enjoy their summer vacation in a safe place. The children are grouped by age, and their activities are age appropriate. We also provide free breakfast and lunch. Activities include: Arts & crafts, field trips, sports events, drama & movies. Our waiting list continues to grow each year!

After-School Program: Bethel Community Facility’s Extended Day Enrichment Program offers age-appropriate afterschool programs for students’ ages 6 to 12. BCF’s Extended Day Enrichment Program educates the "whole" child--intellectually, creatively, socially, emotionally, and physically. The foundation of our program is a rich classroom curriculum. In addition, the program offers a variety of extra-curricular activities and educational resources that give students the opportunity to explore undiscovered talents, gain knowledge and find new avenues of creative expression.

Evening Recreation Program: BCF’s Youth Evening Recreational Program Entitled, Say Yes To Youth, is designed to enrich the lives of youth (ages 9 - 19) by promoting leadership skills, providing a safe and fun place to grow, offering academic support, recreational activities, developing leaders through service and teamwork, and affording an opportunity for mentorship. Using sports as a vehicle to provide positive alternatives to negative activities, the evening recreational program encourages youth to understand and appreciate common human values that are intrinsic to BCF’s mission. By doing so, it involves the entire community, including volunteers, students, community partners and corporate sponsors.
