About

Boys & Girls Clubs of East County's Santee Clubhouse on Tamberly Way operates as the Conrad Prebys-named facility in a five-location network the organization has maintained across East County since 1961. After-school and summer-camp programming serves members ages 6 through 18 across academic enrichment, leadership training, and athletics — a scope of youth services that parallels the Cameron Family YMCA's multi-sport programming on Riverwalk Drive. The Santee location functions six days per week as a practice facility for youth basketball and volleyball leagues, with a full gymnasium and dedicated indoor recreation space. Scholarship-based membership ensures no child is turned away for inability to pay, and military families receive complimentary enrollment through a partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Joint Military Families initiative — a resource that complements the city-run Santee Teen Center's older-adolescent programming on Arlette Street. Across its five East County locations in Santee, El Cajon, La Mesa, and Lakeside, the organization enrolls over 2,000 active members and deploys a tiered core-program framework spanning academic success, character development, healthy lifestyles, and community service.
