Brimmer and May Summer Camp allows young children to thrive in a supportive, creative environment. Designed with the young child in mind, the Camp program encourages campers to try new activities and master new skills. Our hope is that our campers return home at the end of the day not only with a sense of accomplishment but also "brimming" with songs, stories, and smiles.

Brimmer and May Summer Camp is open to children ages 3 to 10, entering pre-kindergarten through third grade. The 2008 season offers 4 two-week sessions as follows:

Session 1-June 23-July 3
