About Kidz Club

More Than a Summer Program

When school is out, many children in Greater Waterbury lose access to regular meals and a structured environment. Kidz Club fills that gap with a summer enrichment program that nourishes body and mind.

🍳

Nutritious Meals

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks prepared fresh daily. Same quality and care as our Soup Kitchen, sized for growing kids.

🎨

Creative Activities

A certified teacher leads arts, crafts, reading, sports, and hands-on projects. Field trips add variety and adventure.

🤝

Mentorship

Caring adults who listen, encourage, and help children build confidence, social skills, and a sense of belonging.
