The Malta Boys & Girls Club will open for Summer on Monday, June 8th!

Summer Hours will be Monday-Thursday, 1:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m. . With COVID-19 restrictions, children MUST be from Phillips County, 5 years old, AND registered for Kindergarten this fall to 18 years old. Membership Forms may be picked up from the front desk at the Club during the week of June 1st, Monday-Thursday, between the hours 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Forms may also be filled out online which can be found on the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line Malta Extension Facebook page: https://form.jotform.com/MaltaBGC/summermembership.

After consultation with the Phillips County Health Department, and in keeping with guidelines released by the Governor’s office for the phased re-opening of Montana, we have decided to offer limited in-person programming at the Malta Boys & Girls Club this summer. Students who are not residents of Phillips County will not be allowed to attend Summer Club this year. Members will be kept in groups of 10-15 students. We will not be taking any field trips this summer due to the COVID-19. We will continue to provide a free daily afternoon snack for Club members. Some of the COVID-19 related procedures and guidelines we will be following during the summer session include are as follows:

Check-in

• ALL Club members are to check-in at the front door between 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. A health check will be performed upon arrival (temperature is taken). Members will be required to sanitize their hands before entering the building.
