Spend the Summer at Bright
Bright Days
Singing camp songs, taking hikes, playing outside and creating friendships are fun summertime activities children enjoy. All of this and more is part of Bright School’s summer program.
Bright Days is a summer program for early learners that combines daily enrichment experiences with fun activities, many of them taking place outside. A typical day will include morning ceremonies, outside nature exploration, a visit to our library, camp songs, outdoor team games, art projects, bonding with camp counselors and fellow campers, and closing ceremonies with yoga.
Bright Days is open to children age 3 by August 1 (and potty trained) through age 8 or rising third graders. A healthy lunch is included in the weekly price.
A regular day is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for $200 a week with early care between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. for no charge. Late care will be available from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for $35 a week. There is a half day option, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., for $150.
