Testimonials

“BCAS has one of the only camp programs in the area that work for both of my kids, despite their four-year age gap and divergent interests. The camp activities are fun, educational, responsive, and inclusive, with enough variety to keep us coming back year after year. My 11-year-old said it best: “I love being outside with my friends, exploring nature!””
