Summer Camp Locations
Great summers start near YOU! Stay tuned for our line-up. Locations will be announced in Spring 2025.
For 77 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro Summer Camps have been a core experience for our local youth. As time has passed, we’ve stayed true to the same principles: lots of imagination, fun, terrific staff, a strong sense of belonging, and a safe and supportive environment where young people can thrive.
Our Summer Camp has a team of Youth Development Professionals who invest their time, talent, and experience into caring for your child. Our highly-trained team will welcome your child by name and help them connect with other campers through engaging activities.

Yes. Our TK-K, 1st-4th grade, and 6th-7th grade middle school programs are run separately. Students are also separated by grade within the day camps. There is occasional overlap at times, however, students are generally placed in groups with peers close to their age.
This summer, BGCSL will offer Summer Camp at three summer school locations: Bay Elementary School, Halkin Elementary School, and John Muir Middle School. BGCSL staff will pick up members from their classrooms when school is released, and the program will run until 5 p.m.
Please confirm your child’s participation in a summer learning program at one of the three schools listed above prior to enrolling your child in BGCSL’s Summer Camp.
If your child will not participate in a summer learning program, they may enroll in one of BGCSL’s three Summer Camp locations: Jefferson Elementary School, Colonial Acres Elementary School, and BGCSL Teen Center Clubhouse.

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided every day.
