Empowering Kids, Empowering Families Through High-Quality, Affordable Programs That Stay Open Late

Whether it is during summer camp, after-school time, or in one of our other enrichment programs, BGCAZ offers unique experiences in the arts, physical fitness, character development, and leadership training. We also provide our kids with proven educational programs and academic support — along with plenty of healthy fun and recreation.

Our caring, professional, well-trained staff help to empower children and young adults to succeed in school, to develop mentally and emotionally, and to reach their full potential as responsible, caring, productive citizens.

At just $40-$80 per month during the school year (including snacks and a hot, nutritious dinner at no additional cost), BGCAZ is not only affordable — it is the best deal around!

We support families’ work schedules by staying open until 7 pm, ensuring that parents are able to fulfill their work obligations without worrying about their children’s safety or well-being.
