This month the excitement was high as it marked the first month of our Summer Program, Summer of Fun! Thank you to all of our Club members who have joined us for this year's Summer of Fun so far. You are making this summer so incredibly special already. This month has been filled with joy and excitement— celebrating the strengths of youth and empowering them to achieve positive outcomes by providing a place where they can dream, learn, grow and thrive.
Club members were invited to explore this world and beyond through weekly themes that were incorporated into each of our programs. Some highlights included the 4th of July Parade in Mt. Shasta as we were so excited to share our epic parade float and our Club member's smiling faces with the community; as well as Club members celebrating National Boys & Girls Club Week by participating in programs and activities that highlight the many ways that Clubs help youth achieve Great Futures. Youth had a blast with various sports & games to support health & wellness; engaged in gardening and the arts, attended a special performance "The Magic of Delbert Lee," and dived into hands-on projects that promote teamwork and leadership— just to name a few!
Check out all the fun below!

Did you know that by simply purchasing your regular Amazon purchases through Amazon Smile, Amazon donates .05% of your purchases to the Club with no impact on your purchase total?
Let's break this down a bit...
According to Amazon, the average family spends about $100/month on Amazon purchases. That means over the course of a year, your purchases could result in a $60 donation to the Club. Multiply that by all of our supporters, and imagine the change you can make for Siskiyou County youth!
If you have any questions, please call our Office at 530-220-7623.
