2020 Commerce Summer Program

2020 Summer Program Update (COVID-19)

Safety is the number one priority at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Texas, and we are doing everything possible to keep our children, our staff, and our volunteers protected from the COVID-19 virus. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has released updated guidance to childcare providers detailing safety protocol during the coronavirus crisis. Some of these regulations include mandatory social distancing, PPE requirements, and decreased capacity at sites. In order to fulfill our mission to the best of our ability, and remain in compliance with CDC guidelines, we have made the following decisions:

1. ROCKWALL SUMMER PROGRAM: Our Rockwall Summer Program will be transitioning from in person programs to virtual Club programs for the entirety of the summer.*

2. REECY DAVIS (GREENVILLE) SUMMER PROGRAM: Our Reecy Davis Summer Program will be transitioning from in person programs to virtual Club programs during the month of June. We tentatively plan to reopen, at a 50% capacity, on July 13th. More information to come.*

3. COMMERCE SUMMER PROGRAM: Our Commerce Summer Program will be transitioning  from in person programs to virtual Club programs for the entirety of the summer.

*Any Club member who has paid a deposit for the 2020 Summer program will be contacted via email with further information.
