LEARN MOREOutdoor Programs
Camp Kiwanis is the first exposure that many Boys & Girls Club members have to a wilderness setting. For some, it is the first time away from their own neighborhoods. New experiences like nature hikes, archery, kayaking, swimming, fishing and orienteering become precious life lessons, sparking new opportunities for personal growth.
