APRIL VACATION ACTIVITIES & TRIPS FOR CHILDREN & TEENS

AT THE

BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF CAPE COD

April Vacation is fast approaching and the Boys & Girls Club of Cape Cod has great trips and activities planned to keep kids occupied while parents and guardians are at work!   As usual, the Boys & Girls Club Kraft Family Clubhouse will be open from 8:30am to 5:30 pm on all vacation days. Activities and games will be available at the Club all day long for any Cape child over 6 during this time.  If a child is going to be at the Club for the entire 9 hours, they must bring a healthy lunch and snacks. The Club has asked that parents please dress children for the weather since they may play outside during the day. The drop-in program and activities at the Club are free except for a $25 membership fee for kids not already members. Membership forms must be filled out and returned by the parents before a child may go on a field trip. Membership forms are available on line at or at the Boys & Girls Club at 31 Frank E. Hicks Drive, located near Mashpee Commons off of Route 151 behind the Mashpee Police and Fire Stations.

 

The following trips are for children ages 6-12. The trips for teens are listed below them.  Registration for all trips is first come, first served, and registration fees need to be paid at the time of registration.  Please note that all trip participants must be, or become, members of the Boys & Girls Club of Cape Cod.  The one-time membership fee is $25 for the rest of the school year and provides access to the Club anytime that we are open for a child's age group.  We have some scholarship money to offset the cost of trips and it is available with documented need. All trips are chaperoned by the staff of the Boys & Girls Club of Cape Cod.
