This week, we’re stepping outside—and thinking outside the box! Think Outside week encourages youth to unplug, explore the natural world, and use their creativity to connect with the environment around them. Whether building with natural materials, solving outdoor challenges, or journaling under the trees, youth will gain a deeper appreciation for nature while developing their critical thinking and teamwork skills. Let’s get curious, inventive, and inspired by the world outside! 

We’re grateful to our Week 8 Sponsor, The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County, for their generous support of our Summer Camps. Your continued commitment helps us empower and inspire local youth all summer long!

As summer winds down, we’re getting ready to welcome our youth back to school—and we need your help!

We’re hosting a Back-to-School Supply Drive to ensure every child has the tools they need to start the year with confidence. Items like notebooks, pencils, crayons, and folders may seem small, but they make a big impact in helping our youth feel prepared and supported.

Donations can be dropped off at:

Oceano Clubhouse, 1830 19th Street, Oceano

Pacific Premier Bank, 1530 E Grand Ave, Arroyo Grande

Five Cities Eagles #4153, 1713 Front Street, Oceano

Oceano/Five Cities Elks #2504, 410 Air Park Dr, Oceano

Thank you for being a part of our Club family and supporting the next generation of learners. Together, we’re creating great futures—one backpack at a time!

To ensure we’re fully prepared to support our youth this school year, all Club sites will be closed on August 11, 12, and 13 for staff training. We’ll reopen when school starts on August 14.
