Next Friday, August 4th, the whole of the Club will be spending the day at Valhalla for the 2nd annual ‘Will’s Kids’ event. In partnership with Live Violence Free, Tahoe Youth and Family and D. G. Menchetti’s Young Shakespeare Program, the Boys and Girls Club is hosting a whole day of arts, crafts and culture at the Valhalla Estate on Emerald Bay Road.
If you couldn’t tell from the war paint, it was Color War at the Club this week. The Club divided into two teams, who called themselves the Red Hawks and the Blue Smurfs, and then took on four days of competitions and challenges to raise points for their team. The staff’s favorite challenge were the silent lunches – such bliss for our ears! But the kids really enjoyed taking on the admin team in staring competitions, games of horse and in particular the step challenge. One member ran laps around the field, he was so determined to win his step challenge!
Barring any more snowstorms, we are now officially into summer and next Wednesday morning the Club will be opening our doors for our summer program. As anticipated, there has been an extremely high demand for our program and although we wish we could accommodate every child and family, it is just not possible. We take safety and quality very seriously, and therefore limit numbers to what is appropriate for our building and our staffing. However, if you are one of the unlucky ones on our waitlist, our colleagues at Appleseed Daycare will take children up to age 7, and make sure to check back in with us over the summer to see if anything has changed.
The Inaugural Tahoe Brewfest. Come down to the Swiss Chalet parking lot on Saturday June 10th for a fun filled, family friendly, afternoon of craft beers, great food and the Tahoe summer vibe.
