The Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe is accepting applications for its summer registration, which will offer activities such as BMX, hockey, lacrosse, broomball, sewing, biking, djembe drumming, guitar, swimming, choir, golf, ice skating and activities with Skate Club and Bug Camp.

Summer registration also includes a learning program called Brain Gain. Field trips are planned to Fallen Leaf Lake, Taylor Creek, Carson Valley Swim Center, Aerospace Museum of California, Discovery Museum, Wild Island, EZAIR, Eagle Falls and Sand Harbor.

Membership fees are included in summer registration, which means children can attend the after-school program when school resumes.

Participants age 14 can volunteer once a week on a regular basis in lieu of the registration fee.

Parents of new participants must attend a 30-minute orientation, held at 5:30 p.m. Mondays at the Club’s main site, and fill out registration forms before their child attends the program.
