Belmont Summer Program
BASEC SUMMER VACATION CAMP — Registration is closed for the 2025 season
Please read our payment and refund policy on our Rates & Dates page before signing up.
BASEC Summer Enrichment Camp blends the best elements of BASEC programming into a diverse experience of exploration, learning, and fun. BASEC educators are the heart of soul of Summer Camp. Our combination of curriculum specialists, professional teachers, and high school and college-aged teaching assistants develop and implement a wonderful curriculum that builds the 21st-century skills so important to our youth.
Summer camp registration is slightly different than our February or April vacation programs. At the time of registration, just choose your weeks and in the spring we will follow up with the possible curriculum choices for those weeks. (Please note: this does not apply for campers entering first grade, as all rising first graders will be automatically enrolled in our 1st Grade group.)
Please note that camp is only available for children who have completed a year of kindergarten through those entering 8th grade. If you have any questions about if your child would be eligible for our camps, please email vacationcamp@belmontbasec.org.

BASEC Sample Curriculum Choices
Students will team up on a common vision, a student-created design utilizing 2D (Scratch) and 3D (Tinkercad) platforms. Students explore the fundamentals of coding and will use web-based programs to put their ideas into action. Feedback will be delivered authentically, as students see how their choices on the computer screen are handled by the programs and by BASEC’s 3D printer! Makerspace introduces students to hands-on techniques such as Makey Makey, basic circuitry, recycled materials, simple machines, visual design, and more. Calling all athletes! Our Sports Specialists James Burke and Alex DeMaris challenge students to rise to the occasion in this curriculum choice where competition meets good sportsmanship and teamwork. Blending many different athletic choices, students will participate in a variety of drills and games. The first grade curriculum is designed and led by some of BASEC’s favorite Kindergarten teachers! Students entering first grade in the fall will collectively make up a single classroom, with a daily curriculum that includes art, stories, games, and nature exploration. First graders stay with their group throughout the day, with camp curriculum in the morning, and free swim, playground, and activities in the afternoon. There’s something for everyone in this multidisciplinary arts extravaganza! The Art Specialists, Jamie Meditz and Felisia Sainz will lead students through exploring and expanding their creativity using a range of mediums. Get ready for some seriously colorful fun!
