Boys & Girls Club of Durant

The Boys & Girls Club of Durant provides its members with a variety of programs.  Every member takes part in Power Hour offering homework help to every member.  The programs offered at the Boys & Girls club have two aspects: social recreation and education.  The social recreation programs take place in P.E. and in our social recreation room (game room).  Social recreation emphasizes on teaching responsibility, leadership, and teamwork.  The education side of our programs includes the education room and the cultural enrichment room.  Education allows the members to explore things they may not learn about in school.  Members learn about different places, people, and things from around the world. Cultural Enrichment gives members self-expression outlets.  They will learn about other cultures and apply the cultural expression to their own lives.

The Boys & Girls Club of Durant is open Monday through Friday.  While school is in session the club is open after school until 7:00 PM.  We are open when school is out from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM. During the Summer the Club is open from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM.  The club is closed for the holidays.
