Take learning beyond the classroom! Bright Lights provides unique, motivating, hands-on summer learning camps for K-8th grade students.

Thank you to our
Camp Sponsors for their support!
Bright Lights is an educational nonprofit that has established a long tradition of offering engaging, high-quality summer learning camps for elementary and middle school students.
We believe learning should be FUN. And with around 100 camps offered each summer, there is something of interest for every student.
Bright Lights camps spark curiosity, creativity and confidence in students. Our diverse camp offerings allow students to explore topics that interest them alongside peers who share their curiosity and enthusiasm.
Through STEAM-infused curriculum and hands-on learning experiences, Bright Lights helps students discover new ideas, build confidence, gain new friends and develop skills that extend well beyond the summer.
For over 40 summers, our goal has been to inspire students to experiment, explore and imagine beyond the traditional classroom setting. We hope your student will join us this next summer to experience the fun + learning for themselves.
Bright Lights is not affiliated with the public schools and has no residency requirements.
