Exciting Updates at the Boys & Girls Club of Clifton

The Boys & Girls Club of Clifton is thrilled to announce some fantastic updates to our clubhouse! We’ve been hard at work creating spaces that foster creativity, learning, and play for all children.

One of our most exciting additions is the brand-new STEM lab! This space is dedicated to exploring science, technology, engineering, and math. Club Kids will have the opportunity to learn essential skills that are increasingly important in today’s digital world, including coding. Our STEM lab includes many desktop computers for our kids to engage in hands-on learning!

Creativity is important for kids to boost their imagination, problem-solving, and emotional expression. Our updated art room is the perfect place for kids to practice these skills. With brand new tables, this room is ready to inspire our growing artists. We can’t wait to see the amazing artwork that comes from our talented members!

Additionally, our updated game room has been a hit! Equipped with ping pong, pool tables, and a variety of board games, this space is designed for fun and friendly competition. The game room is not just a place to play; it’s also a space for teamwork and social skills. Whether it’s a friendly ping pong match or a strategic board game, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

These updates not only enhance our facilities but also create an environment where members can mingle and choose their own activities that match their personal interest! Whether they want to dive into coding, unleash their creativity in the art room, or challenge friends in the game room, there’s something for every kid.

We understand the importance of outdoor play, especially for our youngest members. Which is why our playground has been resurfaced to provide a safe and fun environment for our young Club Kids! The brand new turf is PFAS free, and a great place for kids to run around, explore, and have fun!

We invite all families to come and check out our newly updated facilities. We can’t wait to see our members make the most of these new spaces!

The show not only showcased amazing vehicles but also successfully raised funds to support the Boys and Girls Club mission, ensuring more local youth can access vital programs and opportunities.
