This interactive, educational day camp is designed for children ages 5 to 12 and is held each summer. In a safe and enjoyable environment, children participate in a wide range of activities including rock climbing, swimming, arts, crafts and so much more.
In order to qualify for the member pricing, parents must be active members of RecWell. Membership must stay active through the summer in order to receive discounted camp pricing. RecWell membership must be 4-month, 12-month or recurring deduction membership.
No, only students who are 12 year old or younger and/or going into 6th grade are eligible for BKC.
No, children must be 5 years old to participate in BKC.
Food will not be provided for children. Parents are required to send a lunch, water bottle, and snack with their child every day.
You will be sent an email with a link to the waiver information a few weeks after registering. All campers must be registered in BoilerBase. Information on how to do this will be contained in the email.
Regardless of RecWell membership status, all guardians and children will need to have an account in our membership software (Fusion) in order to register for the program.
In order to make your registration go smoothly, you will want to do this before that Monday, February 27. Spaces are limited and we expect this summer to fill up quickly. Previous attendance at Boiler Kids Camp does not guarantee space in camp. A waitlist will be available as sessions fill.
