Not Your Average “Summer Camp”

We know older kids don’t want “kiddie camp.” We offer the freedom to choose activities, hang out with friends, and access incredible technology—all in a safe, staff-guided environment.

💸

Unbeatable Value

Subsidized by Donors.

We believe every teen deserves a great summer. Thanks to our donors, we have marked down the price from $315/week to just $149/week.

That’s less than $4.00 per hour.

The “Club” Vibe

Access to Cool Gear.

Access our E-Sports Arena, Music Studio for beatmaking, newly built STEM Room, and Art Room. Plus, catch the 2026 World Cup & Red Sox games on our big screens!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents (and teens) need to know.

When you reach the program registration screen, the system will default to showing the full weekly tuition (e.g., $149). You do not need to pay the full amount today!

⚠️ IMPORTANT:
You must check the box labeled “Pay only security deposit of $50.00” (located directly under the “Fee Type” dropdown).

If you leave this box unchecked, the system will charge the full tuition amount immediately. If you check it, you will only be charged the $50 non-refundable deposit per week.

A $50 non-refundable deposit is required for each week you reserve. This deposit is part of the weekly fee, not an extra charge.

Example: If the weekly rate is $149, you pay $50 now to lock it in. The remaining $99 is due 14 days before that specific week begins.

Cancellation Note: If you cancel before that 14-day deadline, you forfeit the $50 deposit, but you will not be charged the remaining balance.

No. Unlike many other programs, we do not require a paid membership or “joining fee” to access our camp or our Early Bird pricing.

We believe in keeping access open for all families. You only need a free RecDesk account to log in and register. The rate you see is the rate you pay—no hidden fees!

Hours: The Club is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.

Flexibility: Unlike our K-4 camps, the Teen Camp operates on an “Open Door” policy. Members have the freedom to come and go as they please throughout the day. However, we have structured entertainment, enrichment (STEM, Art, Music), and gaming tournaments running all day long to keep them engaged and safe!

Late Policy: We close strictly at 4:30 PM. Please ensure your teen has a ride or walking plan arranged by closing time.

A “Rising 5th Grader” (entering 5th grade in the fall) has a choice!
  • Teen Camp: Best if your child is ready for independence. Note that the majority of our members are in Grades 5-8, so they will be with peers their own age.
  • Traditional Camp (Camp Stoneham/Wakefield): Best if your child prefers a structured schedule, traditional group games, and constant supervision.
We leave this decision entirely to parent discretion.

Active teens often misplace items. Please label everything.

Electronics Warning: We know teens love their phones, headphones, and gaming devices. While allowed, the Boys & Girls Club is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property. Please encourage your teen to keep their valuables secure or leave them at home.

We do not offer refunds or pro-rated discounts for missed days due to illness, vacation, or if your teen simply chooses not to attend that day. Our staffing and resource costs are fixed based on enrollment.

Sunscreen: We know teens can be forgetful! While members are expected to apply their own sunscreen, staff provide scheduled verbal reminders throughout the day—especially before outdoor sports and field trips.

Please apply a base layer before drop-off and pack a bottle (spray is usually easiest/fastest) for them to use during the day.
EpiPens & Inhalers: Since our teen members are older, they may carry and self-administer their own EpiPen or Inhaler, provided we have a doctor’s note on file authorizing them to do so. Without a note, medication must be held by the Site Director.

Yes. We take allergies very seriously. Strictly NO peanuts, tree nuts, or shellfish are allowed in the building.

Since teens often bring their own lunch or grab snacks, please ensure they are aware of this policy to keep their friends safe. Any restricted products found will be sealed and removed.

Please note that all forms must be submitted in HARD COPY to the Site Director prior to your teen’s first day.
