WHAT’S NEXT? FIGURE IT OUT WITH THE LINK

Our goal is reaching young people early, guiding their choices, and supporting them long-term.

SIX HUBS. MORE PATHWAYS. A NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COMES AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond, in partnership with Richmond Ed Fund and Richmond Public Schools, is building The Link to give young people a place to explore what fits, ask real questions, and see more of what is possible after high school. From college and skilled trades to entrepreneurship, technical training, and the changing world of work, The Link will make future paths visible and more next steps possible.

  • A typical day includes warm-up games, skill-building drills, sport-specific training, team challenges, and fun group activities. There are also scheduled breaks for snacks, lunch, and rest. Each day balances structure with plenty of active play.

  • Campers should bring a water bottle, sunscreen, lunch (unless provided), athletic shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and any necessary medications. We’ll provide any sport-specific equipment unless otherwise noted.

  • Medical forms can be submitted via our online registration portal or emailed directly to [camp email address]. All forms must be submitted before the first day of camp.

  • Our staff is certified in CPR and first aid, and we maintain a low camper-to-coach ratio for close supervision. We also follow safety protocols for heat, hydration, and equipment use. Allergies and medical needs are documented and closely monitored.

  • We have indoor facilities and alternate activities planned in case of rain or extreme heat. We’ll communicate any schedule changes via email or text to parents as early as possible.

  • Yes! While we encourage full-week participation for the best experience, we also offer flexible options for single-day registration based on availability.
