There is still plenty of time to register your student for Bright Lights summer camps! Many are still available and you can view them all at BrightLights.org.
If you’re wondering if your middle schooler can still benefit from going to summer camp, the answer is they can! It’s important for them to stay engaged and learning over the summer, too. In fact, it can be the perfect time for them to meet new people and try a new hobby and Bright Lights is a great way to do both.
Camps fit into almost any schedule– even around other activities– as most camps run for three hours either in the morning or afternoon, Monday through Friday. (But there are full-day camps as well!)
During camp, your teen is supervised, challenged with hands-on activities and surrounded by peers with similar interests. Learning a new skill can boost your student’s self-esteem and confidence. It can also lead to the discovery of a new hobby or a desire to learn more on a topic when school resumes. Having a planned activity during the day can also help students decrease screen time.
Bright Lights offers middle school camps that focus on art, cooking, sewing, engineering, science and more. There is also an opportunity to take camps with visiting Japanese students during Bright Lights International Week June 9-13.
To see all the Bright Lights camps available, visit brightlights.org/camps/camp-list/ and sort by the grade your student is in this spring.
We also have Camp Assistant positions available to students in 8th grade and older. Visit brightlights.org/assistants for more information and to apply.
