BCCC Releases Details On Summer Camp Offerings

Summer may be several months away, but it's time to start planning ahead.

If you're looking for summer camp options, Bucks County Community College offers Kids on Campus. This year, the program has been expanded to the Upper Bucks Campus in Perkasie and the Lower Bucks Campus in Bristol. Additionally, more than two dozen camps have been added to the schedule at the Newtown campus.

More than 160 programs are available for children ages five years to teens from June 27 to August 19. Camps are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Most are one week in length, some are two.

Registration is now open for the camps, which cover topics from athletics and sports, crafts and academics. A 10 percent discount is offered if you register and pay by April 1.

Here are a few examples of the camps being offered:

• Kids in Focus photography camp
• Lego Animation, Aspiring Actors
• Engineering with K’Nex
• A Capella Camp (two-week camp)
• Soccer Stars
• Kid Kuisine III Ala Carte

Kids on Campus is nationally accredited by the American Camp Association.

"ACA accreditation verifies that a camp has complied with up to 300 standards for health, safety, and program quality. It assures parents that the camp has had a regular, independent safety audit that goes beyond regulations in most states. As part of the accreditation process, the ACA collaborates with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other agencies to assure that practices reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation," BCCC said in an announcement.
