TARGET RANGE
CLUBHOUSE
Target Range Elementary School - Gym/Cafeteria
4095 South Avenue West, Missoula, MT 59804
Our Target Range Clubhouse operates out of one of Target Range Elementary's music classrooms and the gymnasium, serving more than 25 youth, ages 5-12, from the school. With the use of multiple spaces, our Club staff have the ability to transform the club experience into something new every day. Each day, Club Members participate in Power Hour - our homework help and tutoring program. Members also do lots of arts & crafts activities and learn new card and board games with staff! For those Members with additional energy from the day, Club staff uses the open gym space or the playground outside to play organized games and do physical group activities - it's always something new at Target Range! The kids are split into two different age groups to ensure that they stay stimulated and engaged at club throughout the day.
The Target Range Clubhouse is staffed with four Club professionals. With Club located at the school, Club Members are greeted by Club staff every day after school in the music room. Most days begin with a short community circle, followed by snack and a whole lot of fun! We are so thankful to the Target Range staff for providing us with such an incredible space for our Club and partnering with us to serve the students of Target Range Elementary!
For more information on the Target Range program, please contact our Director of Programming, Jourdyn Browning, at (406) 542-3116 or jourdyn@bgcmissoulacounty.org.

Serving Target Range Elementary
How do we start our days?
Hours: Club starts at school release and ends at 6PM on all regularly scheduled school days. Check out our Club Calendar for specific dates!
Check-In: Members check-in with our Club Staff at different spots depending on which room is available.
Club Members typically meet at the music room for check-in.

Safety: We track each member's unique schedule and work together with the school and local teachers to ensure everyone is where they are supposed to be!
What do we do at Club?
Power Hour: Power Hour is where members achieve academic success through homework help, tutoring and high-yield learning activities and which encourage them to become self-directed learners.
Activities: Each of our sites has lots of space for our kids to run and play, to jump rope, throw a ball, or shoot baskets. We also use plenty of arts and crafts supplies to create unique creations and science experiments.
Daily Physical Activity: Virtually every single day each Club Member participates in some form of physical activity, with one day a week having the main activity dedicated to fun games that encourage physical activity.
Emotional Wellness: BGCM works with the University of Montana and it's social work programs to bring in UM Practicum students to run emotional wellness programming at all of our sites every other week.
Pulse Checks: To make sure our members feel a sense of belonging at Club we are always looking for ways to get youth input. By providing meaningful choices to members, we let them set the direction of our programming, and keep them involved in planning activities they’re interested in. A strong youth voice equals a fun and inclusive environment!
Club isn't over till 6PM!
Parent Pick-Up: Only parents, or an authorized adult, can pick-up your kid from Club. Enter the Clubhouse and speak with one of our staff to check-out your kid before 6PM.
Ask About Their Day: Our staff are focused on building those strong 1on1 relationships with youth. So ask them how your kids day went so we can work together!
Why We Serve Youth: How a young person spends the hours outside of school can be a key factor in his or her development. We see ourselves as a key partner in strengthening the Missoula County community by keeping our Club Members active and healthy in the hours after school and during the summer.
