Summer

Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) is the City of Boston’s largest youth and human service agency and the lead department for Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s Boston R.O.C.K.S!!! summer programming campaign.  Offered are dozens of neighborhood-based summer day camps and programs for Boston’s young people.  These programs aren’t only a lot of fun; they also keep children’s minds and bodies active over the summer months so they are prepared for the return to school in the fall.  This summer many of our camps and programs will host activities with a recreation, health and nutrition theme.
