The Busy Bees DC summer camp offers a vibrant and engaging experience tailored for children aged 2 to 8 years, divided into three distinct programs: Busy Bees for younger toddlers (24-48 months), Buzzing Bees for preschoolers (4-5.5 years), and Bumbling Bees for early elementary-aged kids (5.5-7 years). Each program is designed to provide a mixture of structured activities and free play, ensuring that children remain active, learn new skills, and forge lasting friendships throughout the summer. The camp operates with flexible scheduling options, allowing parents to choose full or part-time attendance across various weekly sessions.
Daily activities at the camp include music classes, art projects, and educational excursions. Younger campers in the Busy Bees group enjoy regular outings to a nearby playground, while the slightly older Buzzing Bees and Bumbling Bees participate in field trips to notable locations such as the Air and Space Museum, the National Zoo, and the Botanical Gardens. This exploration encourages a sense of adventure and curiosity about the world around them. Every Friday is dedicated to water play or a trip to a splash park, providing a refreshing way for campers to cool off and enjoy physical activity in a fun environment.
The camp's thematic weeks further enrich the experience by introducing diverse learning opportunities. Each week focuses on a unique theme, such as Nature Explorers, Wildlife Safari, and STEM Discovery, where children participate in hands-on activities, engage in creative expression, and develop critical thinking skills. For example, during STEM Discovery Week, campers delve into the fundamentals of science and technology through interactive experiments and innovative projects. The camp also promotes social skills through group activities and sports, emphasizing teamwork and good sportsmanship. With a well-rounded approach to learning and play, Busy Bees DC summer camp helps children thrive, fostering a love for learning and exploration in a supportive environment.
