Summer 2023

For ages 15 months - 8 years, BOPN offers summer programming that includes half day programs, as well as full day programs.  These nature-immersive classes provide children with a nature-immersive curriculum designed to foster invention, problem solving, and persistence.  Through play, engagement with the environment, and exploring carefully curated materials, youth develop the habits of mind that lead not only to school readiness, but also to socio-emotional well-being.

6-8 Week Program

Don’t want to commit for the entire summer?  Not even close to finalizing summer plans?  Not to worry!  BOPN will be offering our half day morning summer sessions again this year.  We won’t begin enrolling students for the week-by-week sessions until March 1, 2023, but if you already have some summer plans in place, you will be able to note which sessions you want.  We ask that families sign up for at least three one-week half day sessions over the course of the summer.  Please note that the weeks do not have to be consecutive. Since we know plans change, you will be able to change your dates as long as there is availability by providing written notice to the Enrollment Coordinator.
