What does my camper’s day look like at camp?

Each day at SPARC is enriched with structured activities around various program areas such as, STEAM, Fine Arts, Sports, Gardening, and Theatre.


What to bring daily?

Campers should wear socks and sneakers. Campers transition between being indoors and outdoors and should dress accordingly. Campers should have a backpack to hold all their personal belongings, including a water bottle, snacks (nut free please) and a change of clothes. We have cubbies in which their backpacks will be stored.


What not to bring:

NO weapons of any kind, cell phones, electronic devices, glass containers, personal items, valuables or large amounts of money.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady is not responsible for lost items.
