Boys and girls learn in the summer
Local club provides fun, educational program for students
W 072612 BG CLUB CAMP 01
Tellis Parrish, 10, left, and teammate Dymond Reese, 9, jump for joy after correctly answering a question in a game of "Safety Jeopardy" conducted by Boys & Girls Club staffer April Thompson. The game, fashioned after the famous game show, teaches children about various safety practices.
Children whirl around a bustling game room and gym, seeking bragging rights at a foosball table, fast-stepping to interactive dance games and sprinting against friends in a relay race. On one side of the space, youngsters jump to their feet with each momentum-changing play of a virtual football game, while on the other, a pair of boys test their skill in games of pool and air hockey. The scene on the main floor of the Bulloch County Boys and Girls Club complex, brimming with laughing, smiling faces, leaves little doubt that children attending the organization’s summer program are having a good time.
