This Summer’s Best Camp Mendocino Moments
Camp Mendocino is an outdoor education and environmental awareness program focused on the character and leadership development of kids from disadvantaged circumstances. For seven weeks each summer, Camp Mendocino provides a space for hundreds of kids to learn about nature, make new friends and create memories that last a lifetime. Take a look at the impact we made with our outstanding programming:
1092 total participants over five Camp sessions
621 returning campers
69 teens built stronger character through our Leaders-in-Training program
19,795 hours of community service completed by campers (more than 18 hours per-camper!)
Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite memories from this past summer. If you’ve got others you’d like to share, be sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
With another memorable summer at Camp Mendocino in the books, we’d like to thank all the youth who joined us and staff who made a difference.

A letter of gratitude from BGCSF President, Rob Connolly, to all supporters.
November is Children's Grief Awareness Month. With generous support from New York Life Foundation and 1440 Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF) recently introduced the Healing Arts in Culture (HAiC) program and actively addresses the high rates of death among San Francisco’s BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. Led by our Behavioral Health Services Team, the series connects the incredible cultural diversity of our communities with opportunities and resources that support emotional wellness, while celebrating all identities, and histories, and supporting related social activism.
At a time when the challenges facing San Francisco often make headlines, those of us who are deeply involved in the City are frequently asked for our assessment on what is currently happening and what we expect for the future. While clearly there are complex issues that must be solved if our City and its people are to thrive, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF) holds a steadfast sense of optimism for San Francisco, and we are committed to doing our part to ensure its bright future.
