Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County members take part in RV Day to learn about industry
ELKHART COUNTY - Members at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County are getting a closer look at the industry that many of their family members count on for employment.
RV Days was put on at the Elkhart, Goshen and Nappanee Clubhouses with the help of Jayco, Keystone, Heartland and THOR Industries.
“THOR Industries has been long standing supporter of the Boys and Girls Club of Elkhart County,” stated Trey Miller, Vice President of Marketing. “When we were approached to host RV Day once again, we jumped at the opportunity."
The companies brought in RVs to allow the members a chance to tour and ask questions about their construction and the different features.
Members from the Goshen Club try out some of the features in the RVs.
"We love that our community partners are willing to invest their time and talents into helping our members," said Erin McNeal, Middlebury area director. "Some of our members may have never been able to see inside the products that their family helps create. That makes this even more special for them."
In addition to touring the RVs, the Middlebury Club set up a camp site inside to allow members to get a simulated camping experience.
"The Clubs provide such a positive impact on children’s lives and we are proud to be able to offer the kids a little added fun for the day while showing them all the joys of a camping experience,” Miller said.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County began operations in 1956. The Clubs provide programming and services for the most at-risk boys and girls within the community. Each day, the Clubs provide powerful relationships with the youth they serve and open avenues of opportunity for young people across their community by offering safe places where young people can learn, grow and succeed.
