PS 50 Boys & Girls Club Summer Camp

433 E 100TH ST, NEW YORK · ★ 3.8 (16 reviews)

Summer camp offering educational and recreational activities for youth at the PS 50 Boys & Girls Club.

▌ Editor's read The Children's Aid Society (childrensaidsociety.org) is a well-established nonprofit organization founded in 1853 by Charles Loring Brace, indicating a long history of community service. The website details a broad mission to help children in poverty succeed and thrive, offering programs like after-school activities, health services, and family support. While the URL is for the Children's Aid Society generally, and not specifically the PS 50 Boys & Girls Club, the organization's 'Community Schools' model, as described on their site, integrates these services directly into schools, suggesting that the PS 50 location would operate under this comprehensive framework. The organization explicitly states a commitment to child safety, including background checks for staff, as evidenced by their 'Child Safeguarding Policy' linked on the website. They are not ACA accredited. Social media handles for the Children's Aid Society are active on Instagram (@childrensaidsociety) and Facebook (childrensaidsociety), showcasing their programs and community engagement.

Who thrives here Ages 6–18

PS 50 Boys & Girls Club Summer Camp is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. community/rec center programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.
