Every day, students are given the opportunity to make connections with their classmates through creative learning.

Program Details
All students receive a snack at the start of program. BASC provides nut-free snacks and a fruit or vegetable for each student. Students may bring their own healthy, no-nut, low-sugar snacks but may not share them.
Students choose from a variety of activities each day: study hall, game room, reading, art projects, and organized indoor and outdoor games. Optional enrichment classes run by outside vendors are available for an additional fee.
