Even though the calendar just turned to January, we know many families begin scheduling summer activities now, whether that be vacations, sport camps or just weekly care for their school-age child. Because we rely on creative teachers to develop and customize nearly 100 camps, our full schedule isn’t available until early February. However, here are some reasons why choosing Bright Lights for a week (or more!) of activity for your K-8th grade student is a good idea:
- Our camps emphasize hands-on learning and discovery. This means we encourage and facilitate active learning to continue in the summer under the cover of fun experiences shared with friends. We offer STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)- infused curriculum taught by teachers who are passionate about their topics.
- With our variety of camp topics, students can choose to dive deeper into a current interest of theirs or pursue a new passion. Our younger campers can enjoy camps that give them the opportunity for some pretend play while socializing with others, all the while engaging in collaborative learning.
- We take safety very seriously, with a comprehensive safety plan in place as well as a standard response protocol for emergency situations. We review our procedures and processes each summer to ensure we’re doing all we can to keep campers safe. We’ll once again call Roper Elementary home for the summer, which means many of our protocols stay in place from year to year.
- We fit your schedule. With five weeks of camps offered, families can choose half-day or full-day learning, depending on their needs that week. Sessions will run June 1-5, June 8-12, June 15-19, June 22-26 and July 6-10.
Our schedule and camp descriptions will be posted on our website in early February, so be sure to visit BrightLights.org for the latest information.
And circle Saturday, Feb. 28, on your calendar – registration opens at BrightLights.org at 8 AM! Keep an eye out for sneak peeks and new camp features in future blogs and social media posts!
