Join Us For Some Summer Camp Fun!
Check out the BPC’s Summer Camp! Here you’ll find a variety of Summer Camp units suited for kids from kindergarten to fifth grade. These theme-based sets of activities are meant to be flexible, easy to access,and fun to fit in your life as you like. They are low to no tech and free or low-cost, if you choose. Your child can guide themselves through the entire camp, work together with siblings, or you can pick and choose activities to fill an hour together. There are some units that lend themselves to family fun and other ones coming too. The only requirement is to have fun! Kids can name their camp and create a Camp Sign and earn badges at your discretion.(see files) Check back here or the main BPC Facebook page regularly as more units will be posted throughout June and July.
Having fun and want to share? Post on the main BPC Facebook page or email askthebpc@gmail.com. Do you have an awesome idea for a Summer Camp unit or activity? Email us at askthebpc@gmail.com to see how you can share your idea with the Brook Park community.
