PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The Arts

This summer, Boys & Girls Club of Collier County gave our teens a stage—literally and figuratively—to explore their passions and shine. As part of our Stage for Success camp theme, members showcased their talents in dance, music, and theater, demonstrating not only their creativity but also their confidence and teamwork.

Each teen had the chance to shine in a special Teen Talent Show, complete with fun awards like Best Dancer and Most Artistic. To close out summer camp, they took the stage once more to present their performances for parents and families. From ballet and piano pieces to lighthearted hosting segments, our teens proudly expressed their creativity, celebrated each other’s achievements, and built memories to last a lifetime.

Summer programs are about more than fun, they provide safe spaces for teens to grow, discover their talents, and build the skills that prepare them for bright futures.

Programs in this core area include: Dance, Music, and Visual Arts

Sports Fitness & Recreation

After hurricane damage forced the closure of our pool, we are thrilled to share that, thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, the Nichols Club pool is officially open again!

This summer, our Members wasted no time diving in. From cooling off in the summer heat to participating in aquatic education programs, the pool has once again become a place for fun, learning, and growth.

Swimming is more than just playtime, it’s an essential life skill. Access to safe swimming opportunities helps children build confidence, coordination, and fitness, while also teaching critical water safety skills that can save lives.

Thanks to you, our youth are not only staying active and healthy, but also gaining knowledge that will benefit them for a lifetime.

Programs in this core area include: Personal Fitness, Badges for Baseball, Intro to Sports, and Sports Leagues.
