ARTS AND CRAFTS
The Arts & Crafts Program enables children to develop their creativity and awareness through a wide range of art-based activities. Activities include painting, textiles, drawing, sculpting and general crafts. This is a great outlet for members: to explore and express themselves!
AFTER SCHOOL NUTRITION
BGC St. John’s is a strong believer in the importance of healthy eating. Healthy eating leads to healthy growth and development and provides children with the energy they need for school and their recreational activities. Our Clubs are proud to be “Junk Food Free”.
BGC St. John’s offers a nutritional snack to all members who attend the After School Program. The Snack Program runs from 3:00-3:30 daily. Snacks include fruit, vegetables, cheese, crackers, yogurt, milk and much more.

STRONG GIRLS!
STRONG Girls! is an action-oriented response to research conducted by Clubs of Newfoundland and Labrador. This research is in response to a decline in girls’ involvement in physical recreation, sport and leadership opportunities. STRONG Girls! empowers our female members by providing them the opportunity to grow and succeed in a non-stigmatizing environment, ultimately building confidence and skills.
