Boys & Girls Club of Hillsboro

ditto to everything! Due to my going back to school to find a rewarding career when my son was only 1 yr old we've moved alot, with 4 different schools & even more daycares, preschools & before/after school programs than I can recall! The Hillsboro Boys & Girls Club has been by far the best deal for us both! At $5/yr for drop-in (2-8pm during school & 12-6 in summer) & $30/wk for summer breakfast & daycamp (7:30-12) or $10/wk for just daycamp (9-12) it's a bargain for working parents or parents who just need a break! The balance of structured activities including crafts, sports, computers, game room with ample free-time is great for the kids! The only complaint I've heard is the occaisional "I'm bored" (but that's heard at every facility he's been in at some point), & my only issue is we have to be more vigilant about appropriate language, however club staff have been excellent addressing this issue whenever it's come up. Overall, this has been a virtual godsend! Thank-you B&G Club! more

Hillsboro Boys and Girls Club doesn’t get enough credit for what they do for kids all over the valley area of Hillsboro, Cornelius, and Beaverton. They have a facility in Portland that gets more attention in the fundraising arena. I think we should give this club the credit it deserves; they do so much for kids and the parents of the area that it’s not recognized enough. This a great place to send kids during the summer and school year for those who work or just need a break for a few hours to get errands done. The summer program for walk-in’s that can’t be beat for $5 from 12-5pm. Lunch is included and snack. There are periodic field trips at a discounted price for first come first serve to those who return slips on time. The staff and director are dedicated to what they do. Classes in crafts, computer time, and other things are included in the time kids play and learn about self respect and respect of others. Check em’ out. more
