We’ve got eight weeks of fun planned for our youngest campers. Each week campers will get to explore, create, and build under a new and different theme. Plus, each day will have fun ways to keep your child active and staying cool, so don’t forget to pack those bathing suits! Over the 8 weeks of summer, our lower and upper elementary-age campers are going to have tons of fun learning and playing each day, filled with enriching activities in art, STEM and sports, along with exciting water games to keep them cool! And, we can’t forget to mention our weekly Friday field trips to a new and exciting place each week Rising 5th graders join for the last couple weeks of summer camp! Have your middle schooler spend the first weeks of summer exploring Boston with BASEC! They’ll take the subway, commuter rail, and buses to learn how to navigate the greater Boston area and visit museums, landmarks, sports arenas, theaters, and other interesting places! Has your child shown interest in working with younger children? Are they looking to have fun AND give back to their community? If so, BASEC’s CIT program is a perfect fit for them! They’ll get to build positive relationships with younger children while also beginning to develop early skills in professionalism. Recommended Hours: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (5:30 on Fridays)
