Summer Camp

Spend your best summer at Bixby! 

Since we are moving to a new registration system we wanted to make sure that a Bixby staff member is available to answer any questions that come across during the registration process. Because of this, we have moved our registration dates slightly to accommodate the proposed weekend release schedule.

Our Bixby Summer Camp is a play-based camp that centers around creativity and lots of outdoor play. This year we will also be introducing theme based camp programming that will give kids new experiences on top of outdoor exploration.

Bixby Summer is open for campers entering grades K-6 and current preschool families.  Set on our beautiful 3-acre campus, Bixby Summer provides campers with a caring, safe environment to play and explore interests with the support of trained, mature counselors and programmers.

We will also be providing opportunities for campers to engage with local partners as they learn everything from environmental health to fantasy role-play. We believe that open-ended play and a little bit of structured programming gives children the space and time to make meaningful connections and develop lasting friendships.

Preschool summer camp is only open to our current Bixby families. This decision came after evaluating staffing, current enrollment, and consistency of care for our year-round families.

There will be 52 spots available per week.

Any camper that is dropped off more than 15 minutes before their designated drop-off time or picked up more than 15 minutes after their designated pick-up time will be charged $5 for each 5-minute increment. Please call the school to notify us of any late drop-off or pick-up changes.

CAMPER ABSENCES AND NOTIFICATION OF AUTHORIZED PICK-UP PERSONNEL

Parents/guardians must notify [email protected] or call the main office if a child will be absent. Bixby will call parents if a child is registered but does not arrive at camp and the Director has not been previously notified of an absence.

AUTHORIZED PICKUP PERSONS

Only authorized people may pick up a child from camp. If there is a change in pick-up, there must be a written notice including the date and name of the person who will be picking up the camper. All pick-up persons should be prepared to present a valid form of ID to staff.
