Join Us This Summer!

BGCG is happy to offer three camp experiences this summer: Clubhouse Camp and Teen Camp at 4 Horseneck Lane, and Camp Simmons on 77 acres at 744 Lake Avenue.
Camp hours are from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., with drop-off beginning at 8:00 a.m and pick-up by 5:00 p.m. Half-day Summer School option TBD.

CLICK HERE for more information about each Camp!

Due to state regulations, camps will still have limited capacity at each location, so early registration is encouraged.

2021 Summer Camp Fees are $175 per-week 

We are committed to following all Office of Early Childhood (OEC) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to keep registrants updated on how these guidelines will affect our program. 

Scholarships

We feel that cost should not be the thing that gets in the way of a camper having a great Camp experience. Scholarships are available by contacting Megan Sweeney at msweeney@bgcg.org or 203-869-3224 ext 103.

Registration Process

Current membership is required to register for Camp. You can apply for membership by clicking here. After your membership status is verified, you can then register for Camp. If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact Liz Galeano at lgaleano@bgcg.org at 203-869-3224 ext 100.

Once payment and all information is collected, you will receive a confirmation email that your registration is complete and your child is enrolled in Camp. You will receive a follow-up email closer to the beginning of Camp. Registration closes weekly at 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday of the week prior to camp.

For childcare financial assistance, contact Care 4 Kids at www.CTCare4Kids.com

Waitlist

Because of its popularity, Camp Simmons is close to capacity for many of the weeks offered. Once a week is full, a waitlist is made available to prospective campers. Those who add their names to the waitlist will only be contacted if a space becomes available. Thank you for your interest!

Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program

This leadership program is an opportunity for youth ages 14–15 to learn about working with children and developing leadership skills in a camp setting. CITs learn on-the-job skills to improve their confidence while serving as a role model for youth. CITs must complete a separate application and choose either Clubhouse or Camp Simmons locations for as many weeks as they would like. Space is limited, so apply early.

Complete this CIT Staff Application 2021 found at the bottom of this page, and email to Don Palmer at dpalmer@bgcg.org.

Summer Camp Refund Policy

We understand no matter how diligently one plans their family’s activities, situations may arise that require a change. However, as an organization, we must set guidelines that allow us to plan for our seasonal needs such as registration transactions, ordering equipment, supplies and assignment of staff.  All of these activities have associated planning costs. For these reasons we have developed the following refund policy. 

The Camp Director must receive notice of intent to withdraw by email. A full refund (less a $20 administrative fee per camper) will be issued if Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich receives in writing your intent to withdraw before June 3. No refunds or credits will be issued after this date unless it is an illness or injury, in which case a doctor’s note must be provided. Please allow 30 days for processing refunds. We will do our best to accommodate requests to modify a registration to an alternate week. Membership is non-refundable and not transferable.

Thank you for your understanding and support of Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich’s policies.
