Gene Slay's Girls & Boys Club runs a nonprofit summer day camp in south St. Louis for children ages 6 (who have completed kindergarten) through 16, operating Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Days combine sports, arts & crafts, group games, chess, field trips, academic enrichment to counter summer learning loss, and twice-weekly swimming lessons, with specialty options such as golf, tennis and a garden club. Breakfast, lunch and a snack are provided daily, and the low fee reflects the club's community mission.

★★★★★Patricia “Patuszka” LakshmiWonderful community, great opportunities for kids that otherwise would not be able to have any. Best part is the warm smile that greets you every time at the front desk.
★★★★★Meghan LynMy daughter goes to the after school program offered here. We absolutely love this place. The staff and administration are extremely friendly and helpful.
★★★★★L.R. BaileyThis is a great place for kids to go after school. Kids are there from the end of school to 7 pm. They provide dinner for the the kids and help with homework. Gene Slay has also changed from a all boys club to a boys' and girls' club. They do not provide transportation, but for schools that have transportation a child could have their bus stop routed to the club.
★★★★★Leonard Blair Jr.Has a long legacy of growing young men into boys. It's a great spot to keep kids occupied. They don't have all the sports they used to which feels like it diminishes the legacy. My uncles went here when they were young but half of the sports that they played when they were there are no longer available.
