Our Omro members have been building, creating, and problem-solving their way through summer! ☀️🧩

Recently, members spent time building with magnetic tiles, creating with Play-Doh, and working together on puzzles. These hands-on activities spark creativity, encourage problem-solving, and give youth the chance to learn and explore through play.

We love seeing the ideas, teamwork, and imagination that come to life during everyday moments at the Club. ☀️ ... See MoreSee Less

Last Monday, our first Character & Empowerment Class gave Club girls a hands-on introduction to STEAM learning led by student engineers from the Oshkosh Area School District’s nationally recognized FIRST Robotics team.

Throughout four interactive stations, girls learned how engineering and creativity connect in real ways by creating binary code bead patterns to understand how computers communicate, building with BriQ LEGO systems to practice problem-solving and structure, reading an empowering story, and designing LED bracelets to explore simple circuits and electrical flow.

Club girls also saw a live demonstration of the team's competition robot that was built in just six and a half weeks, showing how design, coding, and teamwork come together in high-level robotics.

Most importantly, girls left with new exposure to STEAM skills, hands-on confidence, and a clearer understanding that engineering and innovation are spaces where they belong.

On July 29th, ladies in the community are invited to attend Afternoon Tea, sponsored by Kimberly-Clark, at The Gibson Social Club. This event is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the girl's class accomplishments and hear about the difference the Club makes in the lives of children! ... See MoreSee Less

☀️ OPERATION: SUNSCREEN UPDATE ☀️

We are officially in the final stretch with just about 2 weeks left to go until July 2, and we are still working to keep up with one of our most important summer needs.

Each week at the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh, we go through 25–30 bottles of sunscreen helping hundreds of youth stay protected while they play, learn, and explore outdoors all day long. That need doesn’t slow down—and neither do our kids. 😄

If you’ve been planning to help, now is the time.

☀️ Donate sunscreen through July 2 at:
📍 Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh (532 Broad St., Door #8)
📍 Discover Oshkosh Visitor Center
📍 Westhaven Golf Club

🛒 Can’t drop off? Order online and ship directly to:
501 E Parkway Ave, Oshkosh, WI 54901

💙 Prefer to give financially? You can donate here:

Every bottle matters. Every donation counts. And every bit of support helps keep kids safe in the summer sun.

Let’s finish strong, Oshkosh. 🌞
