At BVRA, we strive to offer a unique summer camp experience that your child will love. This summer, we are bringing back all of our campers' favorite activities, like: gardening, swimming at the community pool, and enriching art and science activities.
Our goal is for every camper to feel excited when arriving in the morning, and leave camp happy and exhausted at the end of the day. Our program discourages screen time, and focuses on development of imagination, cooperation, and confidence through outdoor activities. For this reason, electronic devices are not allowed at camp.
BVRA is happy to announce that camps will be hosted at the BVRA Nature Studio (Formerly known as the Warming House) and the Emerald Drake Play Garden - A place where Little Dragons learn to Fly! (Formerly Nature's Cool Play Garden). Emerald Drake means Little Green Dragon. What a better name for our ferocious Little Dragons in Lewisburg!
Mini Day Camp is for children ages 3-5 years old. These kids love to explore! The kids must be potty-trained. Weekly camp is from Monday through Thursday in the Emerald Drake Play Garden from 9 am - Noon. Enrollment is limited to six kids. Parent drop-off is permitted. Weekly Themes mirror the BVRA Adventure Camp.
Summer Day Camp is open to campers ages 5-11 years of age who have completed Kindergarten and are moving into first grade through starting sixth grade. Adventurers enjoy or seek adventure! Camp is from Monday through Friday from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm. Parents will do drop off from the car again this year. Counselors will greet the campers and escort them inside the campground.
This year, BVRA is introducing a junior leadership program for kids in the community from ages 12-15. More information to come. Call the office if you are interested.
BVRA Summer Day Camp is based out of the Warming House/BVRA Nature Studio, located at 205 Saint Lawrence Street. This prime location gives campers access to the Lewisburg Recreation Park, Skate Park, the Lewisburg Community Pool, the Rail Trail, and the many other resources used for camp. This cozy bungalow is where we start and end the day. Throughout the day, campers are on the go in our community.
At BVRA Summer Camp, our kids are always on the go. This summer campers, will enjoy afternoons at the Warming House/BVRA Nature Studio, Emerald Drake Play Garden, Lewisburg Community Pool (at least twice a week), and the St. Mary's Street Playground. There will be guest speakers and presentations each week related to nature and recreation.
Camp will begin Monday, June 21st. The last day of camp will be Friday, August 13th. Camp runs Monday through Friday and begins each day at 8:30 am. Campers must be picked up between 4:30 and 4:45 pm
Siblings from the same household who register for two or more of the same weeks of camp will receive a discount of 10% off their total camp

Your child cannot attend camp without the completed paperwork packet. Please click the link below, print, complete, and return to us.
If a specific week of camp enrollment is full, additional requests for space will be placed on a waiting list with priority based on the order in which completed enrollment forms are received. If a vacancy occurs, the individual at the top of the waiting list will be given until 5:00 p.m. on the following business day in order to accept the vacancy and pay any fees that are due. After that, the vacancy will be made available to the next subsequent individual on the waiting list.
