Grants Pass "Edward & Bernice Cleveland Club" Clubhouse
After years of operating out of the old 10,000 square foot National Guard armory, the Grants Pass Branch is now in a 30,000 square foot facility completed in September 2003.
The branch includes a game room, computer center, arts & crafts area with kiln and clay wheels, performing arts room with high definition movie projector, teen room with its own game tables and wide screen TV, classroom, kitchen with commercial range/oven and walk-in cooler, leadership meeting room, community partners office, 24 foot climbing wall in an outdoor courtyard, small gym and large gym with volleyball courts and 8 glass basketball hoops that adjust from 8-10 feet, and finally upstairs administrative offices. The outdoor grass playfield with the playground, built in 1999, remains a kid favorite.
A team of dedicated, professional staff welcomes approximately 200 – 350 members each and every day. Our programs and activities focus on 5 core areas including art, education, leadership, health and life skills, and social and physical recreation. We supplement our programs and activities with field trips to local museums, swimming pools, hiking and biking trails, libraries and other family destinations.
Busing to the Club is provided by Grants Pass School District and Three Rivers School District from Riverside, Allen Dale, Highland, Lincoln, Parkside, Redwood, Fruitdale, and Fort Vannoy Elementary Schools. Please contact the school to arrange for your child to be bused to the Club.
