REGISTRATION OPENS: February 1st, 2023

Spend your best summer at Bixby!

Our Bixby Summer Camp is a play-based camp that centers around creativity and lots of outdoor play. Bixby Summer is open for campers entering grades K-6 as well as preschool-aged campers (2 and a half to 4 years old) with priority for our school-year 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 believe that open-ended play gives children the space and time to make meaningful connections and develop lasting friendships. Students will experience a mixture of
  • guided activities based upon children’s interests,
  • time to play alone or in small groups, and
  • PLENTY of outside time
