Summer camp is a fun week filled with FIRST fundamentals, STEM activities and robots! We are offering several different camps this year. If your child is interested in attending both sessions we are offering an option to stay over for lunch for an additional charge. This can be arranged on a day to day basis, or you can email bxcoach1023@gmail.com to pre-arrange.
FIRST participation is not mandatory for the summer camp. Even if you are not on a team, you will enjoy working with the robots at camp. Our camps are open to students from anywhere! You do not have to be a Bedford Public Schools student to attend them. Each full week camper will receive a summer camp t-shirt to wear on Friday. Please register according to your grade level this coming fall. All summer camps are led by Bedford Express Students and held at the Bedford Robotics Center at 1135 Smith Road, Temperance, MI 48182. This is the former Smith Road Elementary School Gym. The center is not air-conditioned, so students should dress appropriately for warm weather. Register by clicking the link to the left. Camps are $125 for the first camp, and $100 for any additional camps. The camps listed below are the only camps that have open capacity for campers. |
