New camps this summer include Digital Video II, Hogwarts II, Electronic Excitement, Kid Biz Camp and Fitness Fun, according to information from BCCC. "Other popular programs are back, such as American Girl camp, Underwater ROVers, Brilliant Bridge Builders, Kid Kuisine, mountain biking, skateboarding and lacrosse," a BCCC press release said.

Kids on Campus is nationally accredited by the American Camp Association.  

"ACA accreditation verifies that a camp has complied with up to 300 standards for health, safety, and program quality.  It assures parents that the camp has had a regular, independent safety audit that goes beyond regulations in most states," a BCCC press release said.

Camps are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Newtown campus. Before- and after-camp care is available for an additional charge. Most camps are a week long.

A 10 percent discount is available if a registration is paid in full by April 1. For a full camp calendar and registration information, visit www.bucks.edu/kidsoncampus. To register, call 215-968-8409.
