Summer is here and so are Bright Lights summer camps… but it’s not too late to still get in on the fun! You can register for one of their week-long summer camps up until one week before the camp week starts.

They have many great camp topics still available for all ages (including Twinkles, their new Pre-K camp!) where students can be challenged with hands-on activities and spend the week learning about something they find interesting. Camps can fit into almost any schedule– even around other activities or sports– as most run for three hours either in the morning or afternoon, Monday through Friday. (But there are full-day camps as well!)

Why is summer learning important for students? There’s lot of reasons! 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 about a topic when school resumes. And having a planned activity during the day can also help students decrease screen time. Plus they can meet new friends with similar interests!

To see all the Bright Lights camps available for this summer, visit brightlights.org/camps and sort by the grade your student was in as of March 2026.

And a heads up: Bright Lights hires their teachers in the Fall. So if you’re interested in teaching for them NEXT summer, visit brightlights.org/teachers to learn more and get on their contact list.
