☀️ Less screen time. More summer memories.

This summer, trade endless scrolling for endless stories.

At BGCBigs Summer Camps, kids and youth spend their days making friends, getting creative, playing games, exploring new activities, and having way too much fun to worry about their screen time.

Bonus: You won't have to hear "There's nothing to do" quite as often.

📅 July 6 – August 21, 2026
