Registration and Meal Options:

Registration is now open for school year programs during the 2026-2027 school year! While at the Club, students stay with the same staff member throughout the day at a 1:18 ratio. They travel through the Club as a group, providing safety and structure for our attendees as they enjoy all the Club offers. Youth participate in a variety of interactive lessons and enrichment activities. Enrichment activities include STEM, healthy habits, art, career exploration, drama, literacy, social studies, community service projects, character/leadership, and sports & recreation.

We aim to make an impact by providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment where students enhance their academic, social, and emotional skills through student-driven, hands-on enrichment experiences led by highly qualified staff in collaboration with community partners.

Nina M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center

The Boys & Girls Club of the Tri-County Area is proud to partner with the Ripon Area School District and serve as a 21st Century Community Learning Center for after-school programming. This program is funded in part by the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC), a grant that assists students in meeting challenging academic standards, provides students with academic enrichment activities, and offers a broad array of other activities that enrich students’ lives.

This program operates before school from 6:45 – 8:00 AM and after school from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm. Transportation from Barlow Park Elementary & Murray Park Elementary to the Club will be provided daily before & after school by Northern Express Bus Company.
