The kids at the Boys and Girls club are able to enjoy video games, pool tables, ping pong, air hockey, basketball, arts & crafts and woodworking in our woodshop. A treadmill, weight bench/small weights, stepper, ab lounge, and lower back machine are in a small exercise area to give the kids physical activities for healthier bodies. Along with daily club activities, field trips have been important in building their morale. Trips consist of zoo trips, baseball games, fishing trips, roller skating when funds allow and we also try to provide holiday parties throughout the year. In the future, the club hopes to buy computers with updated windows systems to enable the kids to do their homework more effectively. The attendance at the club averages from 25 to 45 kids daily with a total membership of about 160. The kids are responsible for keeping their "home away from home" clean and tidy.
