Camp ProgramsPick-ThreeThe Pick-Three Program, offered to campers ages 9-14, allows for exploration of different interests by creating a schedule of up to three different classes a day during a two-week period. Campers pick from among 24 different programs, from exploring earth’s history through geology to enhancing math and writing skills and creating art from recycled materials. *Choose three classes in one session and receive an $80 discount.

AthleticsOur athletic camps offer a variety of different sports at all levels throughout the summer, for athletes already committed to their sport or others interested in exploring new activities! Our athletic camps are led by a superior group of coaches, most of whom coach at Bullis School during the school year. New camps in 2012 include Coed Youth Soccer, Softball and Advanced Baseball. Our athletics program builds camper confi dence, life-long skills in the sport and teaches what it means to be a team player.

Specialty & DayThe specialty and day camps provide campers a way to dive into specifi c areas of interest in half-day or full-day camp sessions. What better way to spend the week than performing on stage, playing in a rock band, or even fl ying an airplane! We offer an extensive variety of one- to three-week sessions for all ages, with everything from Photography and MathTree, to Circus Stars and Martial Arts, to Machine Sewing and Bulldog Day Camp, one of our oldest and most popular camps.
