SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe opened its enrollment for 2026-27 After-School Program on Monday, July 6. Families may submit interest forms and register through the Parent Portal at bgclt.org from July 6 through July 27.
New families must create an account before submitting an application. Priority enrollment will be given to low-income families, children in foster care, and youth experiencing homelessness. Successful applicants will be notified by July 31. Applications received after July 27 will automatically be placed on a waitlist.
The Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe offers enriching after-school programs for children in Kindergarten through high school, as well as a specialized afternoon program for Transitional Kindergarten (TK) students. The Club is delighted to once again provide fun, education, and enrichment each day that schools are open. Programs begin at the end of the school day, including on minimum days, when extended Club hours are offered at no extra cost.
This year, they’re excited to announce the expansion of our program to include Sierra House Elementary. With this addition, the Club now operates at five sites: the Angel of Tahoe Clubhouse, Bijou Community School, Meyers Elementary, Sierra House Elementary, and Tahoe Valley Elementary. The TK Afternoon Program now runs at four elementary sites (Bijou, Meyers, Sierra House, and Tahoe Valley) allowing the Club to serve more families and provide greater early learning opportunities throughout the community.
In addition to serving teens, the Angel of Tahoe Clubhouse will expand its programming this year to offer a variety of specialty programs for both teens and elementary youth, including Art, STEM, Health & Wellness, and Soccer. The Club has added Career & Technical Education as well for teens.
Elementary Specialty Programming (Block 1: Through the End of October): Elementary members (K-5th) will have the opportunity to be bussed from their school site to the Angel of Tahoe Clubhouse to participate in specialty programming. These programs include Comic Book Club, Makerspace Club, Sketchbook Club, and BMX Club.

Teen Takeover Programming (Block 1: Through the End of October): Teen members will have the opportunity to explore new, hands-on specialty programs designed to build skills, spark interests, and encourage personal growth. These programs include Leaders in Training, E-Sports Club, Dungeons & Dragons Club, Lego Stop Motion Club, Pottery Club, a Cooking and Food Skills Academy, BMX Club, and both Girls and Boys Soccer Clubs.

Each specialty program is limited to 20 participants, and advance registration is required by emailing membership@bgclt.org. For elementary members (K-5th grade), parents must apply for the after-school program at the Club site that corresponds with their child’s school of attendance and should not select the Angel of Tahoe Clubhouse during the application process. Program fees will be billed on August 3, 2026.
Families can learn more about the K-8 program at bgclt.org/after-school-membership and the TK program at bgclt.org/tk-afternoon-membership.
Please note that the TK program has a higher fee due to its extended daily hours (5.5 to 6.5 hours) and a low staff-to-child ratio of 1:10, which provides enhanced safety and developmental support for younger members.
NEW Hours of Operation:
TK Programs (Bijou, Meyers, Sierra House, Tahoe Valley): 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
K-5th Grade (All Sites, Including Angel of Tahoe): End of the school day to 6:00 p.m.
Teen Members (6th Grade and Up), Angel of Tahoe Clubhouse:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: End of school to 6:30 p.m.
