This weekend on Where You Live, unique programs around West Michigan that are keeping kids busy. From after school mentoring programs to summer camps, we’ll show you what’s going on in your area.
This week we visited The Boys & Girls Club of Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth, a positive place for children ages 7-17 years old. For almost 70 years this youth center has been open afterschool, in the evenings and over the summer months for kids to hang out in a safe, encouraging environment.
With two teen centers in Grand Rapids and a summer camp in Alto, this is a great facility doing positive things for kids in West Michigan. For more information visit www.bgcgryc.org.
Looking for something to keep your family busy? Think about volunteering. This year the Fifth Third River Bank Run is looking for help in lots of different areas. From check-in assistance to serving refreshments, they can use your help!

Whether it’s a daycamp, a sports camp or an overnight camp, there are so many options out there for our kids. Spending time at a camp helps enrich our children’s lives in so many ways. It helps build character, gives them a sense of community and provides them with hands on learning experiences.
