Clubs
At BGC’s 10 neighbourhood-based Clubs, our professional (and cool!) staff offer programs for kids and youth — after school drop-in, day camps during school breaks, and pre-teen and teen nights just for older youth.
BGC Clubs give kids and youth access to gyms, kitchens, games rooms, youth lounges, art rooms, and outdoor spaces. More than that, they’re a safe place that gives kids three things they need most: a sense of belonging, a sense of success, and positive relationships.
When kids come to Club, they choose how they spend their time from a wide range of activities that are not only fun, but good for them too. It’s a place to try things out, fail safely, hang out with friends, and feel a real sense of independence.
Our well-trained staff don’t feel like supervisors. They feel like trusted mentors — there to support kids and youth while giving them the space to grow and learn.
At Club, kids get to explore their interests, discover what makes them amazing, and spend time in a place that genuinely feels like THEIR place. That’s what makes BGC so special.
Registration is now open for After School Programs, Winter Break Day Camps, Spring Break Day Camps, and Pro-D days!

About BGC South Coast BC
For over 85 years, BGC South Coast BC (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC) has been giving thousands of kids a place to belong in their neighbourhoods across the Lower Mainland. Our Clubs open their doors to young people of all ages when they aren’t at home or at school, where our trained staff and volunteers provide programs and services that help young people realize positive outcomes in self-expression, academics, healthy living, physical activity, job readiness, mental health, social development, leadership, and more. BGC’s vision is for all children and youth to discover and achieve their dreams and grow up to be healthy, successful, and active participants in society.
We believe that opportunity changes everything.
Drop-in Programs
Kids and Youth in Grades 1-7
Drop-In is offered after school on weekdays, and during school breaks and closure days. Members may drop in any time after school, and each Club opens when the local school is dismissed.
Pre-teen Drop-In for Grades 5-7
Preteen drop-in programs are available after school and in the evenings, and during school breaks and closure days. These programs are targeted specifically for this age group, as kids transition out of elementary school and into high school.
Youth Drop-in for Grades 8-12
Youth drop-in programs are available after school and in the evenings, and during school breaks and closure days, with schedules varying at each Club. Youth programs include learning opportunities such as workshops and discussion groups, recreational activities, dinner programs, and movie nights.

Learn On Program
BGC’s Learn On Program provides a safe space for youth ages 13-18 to get homework support, tutoring, mentoring, and hang out with friends!
Learn On programming includes dinner, use of tech facilities and recreational spaces, career exploration and SO much more.
Learn On is offered at our Langley, Fraserview, and Kimount Clubs.
Club Life
When kids and youth come to Club, they choose how they want to spend their time from a WHOLE BUNCH of age-appropriate activities like:
- Cooking and Baking
- Arts and Crafts
- Sports like Baseball, Hockey, and more
- Group Games
- Homework Help and Learning Activities
- STEM Programs
At BGC, we know that Opportunity Changes EVERYTHING! So, Clubs also give kids and youth chances to participate in awesome unique activities like skating with the Vancouver Canucks, meeting new people at all-Club events (think dances, beach days and floor hockey leagues), and field trips!
Here’s what we’ve been up to lately:
Each Club also runs targeted programming aimed at addressing the most pressing needs of children and youth. Examples include one-to-one mentoring, preteen programs, teen programs, leadership, and work experience. Find your Club to learn more about these programs.
Outcomes and Impact
When kids and youth spend time at their Club, what they are really doing is working towards four vital outcomes that will help them grow into confident, happy, and healthy adults:
The best part? This is all done through activities that are FUN for kids and youth under the rigorous supervision of our trained staff. Because of this, kids and youth CHOOSE to spend time at BGC, and develop a deep sense of belonging to their Club. When kids come to Club MORE often and for MORE of their childhoods, the results are pretty amazing!
inspired leaders
Kids and youth learn how to be leaders and have a positive influence on others, building skills for cooperation, self-regulation, confidence, and taking initiative.
Lifelong learners
Kids and youth experience educational success, develop curiosity and creative expressions, and learn how to challenge themselves and achieve goals.
Positive Relationships
Kids and youth have enhanced connection to community, interpersonal skills, sense of belonging, and acceptance of self and others.
Sustained Wellbeing
Kids and youth make healthy choices about nutrition and physical activity, and have increased positive outlook and resilience.
Registration and Fees
At BGC, we believe that every kid and youth who wants to go to the Club should get to. Families pay what they can when they register.

I'm a new family to bgc. what's the first step?
To learn more about what your local club can offer and see if BGC is a good fit for your child, we ask that new families reach out to your local BGC Club as a first step. This will help you learn about the environment and how the Club operates and the self-directed nature of our programs; children and youth have autonomy and choice. BGC does not provide direct one-on-one support for participants.
We want to first assess if a BGC Club is a suitable environment for your child to experience success. You will have the opportunity to have a conversation with the lead staff to make sure we can meet your needs.
Do Clubs offer licensed childcare?
BGC Clubs are licensed under recreational care (we are the only organization in BC who offer recreational care). Because of this classification, our programs do not receive financial support like a typical childcare setting would. We do not participate in the affordable childcare benefit as funding is raised internally. We don’t receive funding from provincial government to operate our programs. We support families to pay what they can internally.
My child is in kindergarten and is 6 years old. Can they join bgc?
Your child is welcome to participate in BGC programs once they start grade one. Due to the self-directed nature of our programs, it is more developmentally appropriate for children who have experienced at least one year of elementary school.
Is my child a pre-teen or youth?
Children in grades 5 to 7 are considered pre-teens. Youth in grades 8 to 12 are considered youth.
My child has additional support needs. Are they able to participate?
BGC does not provide one-on-one support. Some families may have an external provider for one-on-one support. We would be happy to work together with the support person once we have the following: a clear Criminal Record Check, positive references, and a meeting with Club staff. This helps us ensure safety for all children and youth who visit the Club.
I'm not able to afford the full fee. Can my child still participate?
Yes! We invite you to have a conversation with the Registration Office at 604-324-2267 or register@bgcbc.ca. We never ask families to provide proof of income. Our goal is for all children and youth to participate in BGC programs.
Do I need to re-register my child every school year?
Yes, we ask families to update their information or confirm their existing information for every school year.
Can I register at a Club?
Registration happens online. If you need support, you can contact the Registration Office at 604-324-2267 or register@bgcbc.ca or pick up paper copies at your local Club.
How do we login to the parent portal
Please navigate to the online parent portal by following this link. If you have any questions or difficulties, please get in touch with the Registration Office at 604-324-2267 or register@bgcbc.ca.
Who can create a household account for online registration?
The legal parent or guardian of the child needs to be the one to create the household account.
Can I edit my registration and membership forms online?
Once online forms have been submitted, you will need to call the Registration Office at 604-324-2267 or register@bgcbc.ca to make any edits. Before online forms are submitted, you can make any edits yourself through the parent portal.
How can I reach the registration office during busy times?
If the Registration Office cannot take your call, we ask that you please leave a voicemail so we can call you back. Alternatively, you can send an email to register@bgcbc.ca.
My Child attends day camps only and would like to attend pre-teen nights. Can my child attend pre-teen nights without a membership?
Pre-teens require a membership to attend pre-teen nights (with a membership, you will save on day camp fees), and we’re always happy to work with you on any financial assistance that may be needed.
If we have a Club membership, can my child attend club from 3pm onwards during day camp days?
Yes, your child can drop-in at 3pm on day camp days without needing to be registered.
My teen is volunteering. Do they need the $10 teen membership fee?
For teen volunteers, the fee is waived and they can still participate in teen programming.
What food is provided at Club?
We provide daily snacks for after school and day camp programs. For full days, families are asked to provide lunch for their children. For evening programs, we provide dinner.
How often are there out trips/field trips at club?
Please contact your local Club for a detailed schedule.
What days are Clubs closed?
BGC Clubs are closed on statutory holidays, for the last week of school, for the last week of summer, and at least one or two days per year that ARE communicated in advance.
