Welcome to the Keels Campus

7500 Springcrest Drive Columbia, SC 29223 803.231.3305

Thank you for visiting our Keels Campus site.
For six years, Joseph Keels Elementary School has supported the Boys & Girls Club of the Midlands in many ways by providing our club with wonderful members whom exhibit talent, potential, and character. The administration, faculty and staff continuously demonstrate a sense of support to the Keels Boys & Girls Club staff members. Joseph Keels Elementary has formed a true collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club of the Midlands to bring out the “best” in all of our children we encounter on a daily basis. Some aspects of support are initiatives such as indoor recreation space, nutritious snack preparations, and a caring and passionate faculty and staff.

At the Keels Boys & Girls Club, visitors and guest will find an array of activities taking place on a daily basis. Our members and staff carry the attitude of being the “best” in all endeavors; therefore they display a sense of talent and compassion for what they do. The Keels Boys & Girls Club atmosphere is set as to where each member has the optimal opportunity to soar to greater heights.

Our goal at Keels Boys & Girls Club for 2010 is to be the best club in the world! We plan on accomplishing this goal by setting examples and taking the lead in leadership and development, education, sports and recreation, and health. Trying is the key to success!

We encourage you to come visit our club, speak with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands staff and learn how our staff, along with Joseph Keels Elementary School, can help your Keels Gator BE GREAT!
