Club Partnership Enhances Team Activities
----------------------------
 An exciting new partnership with Boy Scouts had boys and girls alike working on their team building skills through physical fitness and communication. Physical fitness is a core program area for the Boys & Girls Club to ensure our local youth are learning lifelong skills to enhance their physical and mental well-being. Recently, a local Boy Scout leader taught members a fun game called "Rat Tail", in which youth partnered up, linked arms and worked together to step on the "tails" of other teams. Youth quickly learned that they must focus on communication and self awareness to set their team up for success. If one member ran too quickly and arms were not linked properly, the team would miss the opportunity to snag the other team's tail. Boys & Girls Club members discussed the valuable lesson that working together achieved more efficient results, a key for future success!

Boys & Girls Club Summer Kickoff
--------------------------------------------------
The summer program at the Club kicked off on June 15th, with half day programming! The program starts every day at 12:30pm, after the Menomonie School District summer school sessions at River Heights Elementary. Members and staff both share the excitement for the fun activities that this summer will bring. The summer program will feature a more diverse selection of programs due to the warm, sunny weather and opportunities for field trips and guest speakers.
During the summer program, the Club will be open on both half days and full days, based around the School District of the Menomonie Area's summer school program. During half days, the Club will offer exciting programs and a healthy snack. During full days, the Club will offer breakfast, lunch, two snacks and a variety of exciting programs to satisfy all types of interests.
Are you interested in enrolling a youth for the summer program? Registration is still available for both the half day and full day programs! Call, email or visit out website for more details!
