Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County's summer around the world! In honor of the 2024 Summer Olympics, our summer members are learning about different countries in Education, Art and Service & Leadership with a focus on one country per-week in these 3 program areas. The countries they're exploring are USA, Brazil, Greece, Japan, Switzerland, France, Australia, Canada and Italy. Summer days can seem long, but with strategized programming we keep our members engaged while learning something new!
All programs have a set schedule to what type of activity/project they are participating in for a specific day of the week.
Service & Leadership:
Monday: A craft based on known animals, landmarks, etc.
Tuesday: leadership games and discussion
Wednesday: cooking a recipe from that country
Thursday: trivia based on that country!
Art:
Monday: well known mediums from that country
Tuesday: artwork inspired by a famous artist
Wednesday: art history lesson and project
Thursday: summer theme art project or kids’ choice/maker’s space.
Education:
Monday: a project based on an invention
Tuesday: Culture lessons
Wednesday: A cultural festival
Thursday: Education around a well-known scientist
Planning program around the same theme helps our members remember what country they are learning about through repetition.
