BCAP Summer Camp Benefits

Safety

Campers need to feel that counselors will look out for them and genuinely value their contributions. BCAP Summer Camp provides an environment that tends to the physical, emotional, and creative well being of each and every camper.

Adults and children can trust that counselors are prepared, approachable, and responsible. BCAP Summer Camp is licensed by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and is inspected twice yearly. All counselors are mature individuals that have been First Aid/CPR certified. Camp groups have access to emergency and security personnel at all Heart of Brooklyn institutions. The Camp Director also maintains contact with parents regarding the well being of each child before, during, and after camp begins.

Hands-on Learning

Kids don’t need textbooks, tests, or classrooms to learn at BCAP Summer Camp. Instead, they interact with living plants and animals, create original works of art, and visit historic sites.
BCAP Summer Camp  prides itself on creating a summer program that both allows kids to have a good time and stimulates young minds in a meaningful way. All BCAP Summer Camp activities are developed by professional educators, support New York State Learning Standards, and promote the exploration of new ideas through hands-on projects.



Exclusive Access

85% of our campers have visited at least two of our sites before attending camp. BCAP Summer Camp allows them do what they love on a regular basis, whether it’s gardening, creating art, learning about science, or just making friends.

BCAP Summer Camp is the only camp in the world on a campus composed of an art museum, botanic garden, children’s museum, historic house, nature center, landmarked park, state-of-the-art public library, and zoo! Campers enjoy carefully crafted curriculum led by instructors at each site, often combined with behind-the-scenes access.



Affordability and Diversity

BCAP Summer Camp supports its commitment to maintaining a diverse camp audience by welcoming children with special needs, subsidizing enrollment fees for all campers, and by offering generous tuition assistance for qualifying campers.



Comfort

Everyone benefits from good exercise, but even the most active kid enjoys taking a break indoors—especially on a hot summer day! BCAP Summer Camp provides a unique balance of indoor and outdoor locations that allow kids to run, play, and rejuvenate.
