It’s Giving Tuesday! And while you’ve got giving on the brain, think about giving a summer adventure to a K-8th grader in your life with a gift certificate to attend a Bright Lights camp!
Who would like to get a Bright Lights camp gift certificate? Anyone currently in K-8th grades! Your student’s BFF, neighbor friend or cousin would all like to take a camp this summer (and it’s fun to go to camp with a friend, too!). If you’re a grandparent, invite your grandchild to visit for a week and make attending a camp part of your weeklong fun. Whomever it is, you will be giving them a gift that doesn’t get dusty on a shelf and provides them a chance to learn something new, make new friends and, of course, have FUN!
Purchasing a gift certificate is easy. Visit our website, choose to make the purchase online or by mail, and then enter a dollar amount for the certificate. We will fulfill your request by mailing a certificate to you (or straight to the recipient if you want!) and then the student can use it towards the Summer 2026 Bright Lights half-day or full-day camp of their choice.
Once our Summer 2026 camp schedule is on our website in February, your recipient can look through our camps, choose the topic that most interests them and redeem the gift certificate when they register for the camp. Registration for our Summer 2026 camps opens Saturday, Feb. 28 at 8 AM at BrightLights.org.
Want to add a little something extra to your gift? Set a special date with your student to look at the camp options together and pick out their camp! Families have told us that doing this has become a very fun tradition for them to do year after year.
So here’s to giving a gift that will benefit your student well beyond this holiday season. We look forward to seeing them at camp this summer!
PS: If you would prefer to make a donation to Bright Lights in honor of Giving Tuesday, we would appreciate it! Our program’s registration fee only covers half our operating costs each year, so we depend on generous donors to ensure students’ summers are full of hands-on learning opportunities.
