A skate program in honor of Johnny Strange. Johnny, a Malibu local, was an adventure seeker at heart, who passed at the age of 23 while wing suit base jumping in the Swiss alps. He accomplished so much at such a young age, was purely and intrinsically motivated, and inspired by the world around him – nature, culture, and sports. He used his opportunities to do good and inspire others. Members learn skating techniques to master their awareness, etiquette, balance, control, and their talent! Skaters are empowered and encouraged to be motivated, learn new skills, and have a great time and stay positive while doing it.

BGCM S.T.E.M. programs help bridge the gap between S.T.E.M. and real-world scenarios. We focus on hands-on, project-based learning, for students to explore the various disciplines that S.T.E.M. has to offer. The four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Kids interact and collaborate with peers with the instruction of Youth Development Professional staff and or Club partners who facilitate high-yield learning activities on a weekly basis to introduce and expand student’s knowledge in these four specific areas through an interdisciplinary and applied approach.
