Spend the Summer at Bright
Bright Days
Every day is going to be a BRIGHT day at Bright Days summer program for early learners!
In rising JPK & PK, a day for your camper will include circle time on the carpet, developmental centers, story time, music time, a craft, time to play on the enchanted garden playground, and guided nature exploration.
In rising K-3, a day for your camper will include group games, team builders, themed projects in the color lab, free play, quiet time to read or draw, guided nature exploration, and time on the playground.
Additionally, each week we will have a special on-site field trip experience and a water-filled fun splash day on the field!
Our weekly and daily schedule varies with each age group. A week before camp, you will receive a Bright Days newsletter with specific details surrounding the camp's activities for the week. Also, we have our own Bright Days curricula to ensure fun and learning take place every day.
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 $225 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 $175.
Registration
Check back in February 2022 for summer 2022.
