Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Ohio

A summer learning loss prevention program designed to keep kids on track academically. The program is comprised of nine one-week modules with fun, themed activities for elementary school, middle school and high school students. Aligned with Common Core standards, each module takes a project-based approach: youth engage in a process of learning through discovery, creative expression, group work, and a final project or production.

Power Hour helps Club members achieve academic success by providing homework help, tutoring, and high-yield learning activities and encouraging Club members at every age to become self-directed learners.

Dedicated and innovative STEM activities focus on closing the opportunity gap in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Using a cross-disciplinary approach that channels young peoples natural curiosity in the design process inherent in the arts, the STEM programs empower youth to create new solutions to real-world challenges.

Members engage in fun physical activities that help them meet the recommended 60 minutes of physical fitness each day. Activities may include Club games like dodgeball, basketball, hopscotch, and jump rope, special youth sports camps, or free play in the gym or playground.
