BCM Summer Camps 2024

IMPORTANT INFO:

Lunch will not be provided. Parents, we ask that you pack your child's lunch for the full-day visit. Please also include a snack for the morning and afternoon.  Half-day kids will need to bring a snack for the morning or afternoon. Please pack this in a lunch sack. Reusable water bottles are recommended so they can be refilled throughout their visit.

All camps are open to campers entering 1st grade through 5th grade, with the exceptions of Imagineering (Full Day) and Robotics 2.0 (Full Day). Camps are split by age/grade range to ensure experiments and activities more tailored to campers' learning levels and a better overall camp experience.​

All camp registrations close the Wednesday before the camp starts.​
