BGC’s summer day camps are a big way that we (and you!) can come alongside and support local families. That’s because from 8:30am-6:00pm, Monday to Friday, Club is a safe place for kids and youth to belong while they are out of school.
During this time, kids and youth can explore their interests in a place that really feels like THEIR place.
That might look a little different for every kid, so we make sure that there’s something for everyone from sports and physical activity to games and creative arts, STEM, leadership programs, and even field trips.
But we need your help to make sure that every kid, youth, and family that wants (or needs) access to BGC this summer has that op�portunity.
No family is turned away from BGC’s summer programs due to fees. And that`s possible because of our amazing community. When you make a gift today, you are helping provide safe and supportive spaces for kids and youth, all summer long.

Ready for the BEST. SUMMER. EVER? Come and work at Camp Potlatch! We are currently hiring for seasonal summer positions.
Camp Potlatch, a wilderness Summer Camp and Outdoor Centre located on 133 acres along the picturesque shores of Howe Sound, is operated by BGC South Coast BC, which provides a wide range of social development and recreational services to children, youth, and families in the Lower Mainland.
At Camp Potlatch, sandy beaches and unspoiled hiking territory create an idyllic environment to work, explore and play! Even though it is less than an hour from Vancouver, the camp is truly isolated in pristine wilderness and is only accessible by boat.
That means your summer could look like:
-Seeing INCREDIBLE things like whales and wildlife and oceanfront sunsets
-Making friends for life
-Days off in between sessions to spend time at home
-Helping give kids and youth an amazing summer camp experience
-SO many memories!

Today is... kind of a big deal. It`s BGC Club Day! All across our Clubs, we are celebrating in ALL the ways. We are playing games with friends and loved ones, doing crafts, and of course, sharing meals. Why? Well, we have a lot to be excited about!
Every day after school (and all summer long!), our Clubs open their doors to kids and youth. We`re there to listen. To let them fail (safely) and believe in them still, and to give them a place that really feels like THEIR place!
When kids and youth have that, they become better leaders. They learn to make decisions that are good for them. They want to explore their interests. And, they develop the skills that they need to have strong, healthy relationships. When kids are spending time at BGC, they are spending time becoming EXACTLY who they are meant to be!
That`s why we are celebrating MORE kids spending MORE time in MORE Clubs!
This past year, more kids and youth spent time at BGC. That means more incredible human impact right here in our communities, and we have no plans of slowing down.
So, today, we hope you`ll celebrate BGC Club Day with us, because YOU help make this place the BEST place.

Thank you to @bestbuycanada for building supply kits for our Clubs as part of National Volunteer Week! They came together in support of BGC South Coast and built 288 supply kits for our 10 neigbourhood Clubs! Because of their commitment to community, kids and youth at BGC, our kids and youth will feel more confident, supported, and ready to learn. We’re so grateful for partners who show up in such meaningful, hands‑on ways.
