STEAM-Powered Play

From science experiments to open-ended art and math games, our camp introduces STEAM concepts in age-appropriate ways. Campers explore, tinker, build, and imagine—developing critical thinking through joyful discovery.

Designed for Early Learners Through Rising 3rd Graders

Our Summer Camp is tailored for children ages 2 through rising third grade. Whether your child is in preschool or heading into the early elementary years, we offer enriching experiences and thoughtful guidance to keep them growing, exploring, and having fun—all summer long.

Thank you for loving Luke and teaching him more than we ever would have ourselves. Thank you for keeping him safe and guiding him each day. We are beyond grateful for the BB staff!”
