SUMMER 2025

At BGCEASTAL’s Level Up Summer Camp, parents can expect a safe, engaging, and enriching environment where kids and teens are challenged to grow academically, socially, and creatively. Each week is designed around a unique theme, packed with hands-on activities, exciting experiments, imaginative projects, and movement-based games that keep campers learning and having fun all summer long. In addition to themed adventures, campers also participate in Summer Brain Gain academic support, daily enrichment, character development, and swim lessons—helping them level up in every area!

Campers will enjoy activities like:

  • Launching baking soda bottle rockets and building airplane launchers

  • Creating art through salt painting, dreamcatchers, and agamographs

  • Exploring science with the Starburst rock cycle and Grand Canyon attack

  • Competing in fun games like the Connect 4 relay and celebrating with Pajama Day

  • Strengthening minds with Summer Brain Gain and cooling off during swim lessons

  • Going on field trips to the Montgomery Zoo, bowling, and mini golf

And that’s just the beginning—there’s something new and exciting every week!
