And that’s a wrap on BACC Summer Camp 2026!

We ended Summer Day Camp on a high note with some bounce house fun, a delicious BBQ lunch, and a refreshing Kona Ice treat!

Travel Camp kept the energy going all week with an amazing lineup of adventures! Our campers enjoyed trips to Grafton Lake, the Herkimer Diamond Mines, Thacher Ropes Course, Zoom Flume, and closed out the week with some fun at Saratoga Strike Zone!

A huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible staff for making this summer so memorable, and to our parents and families for trusting us with your campers and supporting us throughout the season. ❤️

With August 30th quickly approaching, now is the time to get involved!

Another eventful week of BACC’s Summer Day & Travel Camps is in the books!

Our Summer Day campers kept busy with swimming, STEM activities, a visit from the Wildlife Institute of Eastern NY to learn about birds on Wednesday, and a Field Day on Thursday. They wrapped up the week with a fun-filled trip to the Utica Zoo!

Travel Camp was on the go all week, with visits to the NY Energy Zone Museum in Utica and Albany Ninja Lab, an exciting day of whitewater rafting, and some well-deserved relaxation at the beach to end the week!

Flip through for some Week 6 highlights.

We have just one more week to go! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Week 5 flew by, and it's hard to believe we're already wrapping up another week of summer!

Our Day campers at the BACC main site enjoyed another week of swim lessons, free swim, games, and activities with friends. A special shout-out to Room 2 for kicking off Thursday with a fun performance for fellow campers and staff!

In STEM, campers put their pizza box solar ovens to good use making s'mores, and they created colorful lava lamps to take home. In Art, they made landscape portraits and paper bag fish. Wednesday's visit from Reptile Adventures was a favorite, giving campers the chance to meet tortoises, snakes, a bearded dragon, and other scaly friends up close. The week wrapped up with a trip to Shepard Park in Lake George and a well-deserved stop at Martha's for ice cream!

Our Travel campers made the most of every adventure, even when the weather changed the plans again! A rainy Monday turned into a fun visit to the VIA Aquarium in Schenectady, followed by trips to Grafton Lakes State Park, Veterans Memorial Park, the Basketball Hall of Fame (where a few lucky campers met Spurs legend Bruce Bowen!), The Great Escape, and Million Dollar Beach.

Swipe through this week's photo collages to see some of our favorite moments from Week 5!

Thank you to our campers, families, and dedicated staff for making another week of BACC Summer Programs so special! Prepare for another exciting week to come: Field Day Thursday followed by the Utica Zoo for Day Camp, and Howe Caverns + white water rafting for Travel Camp!

A little rain couldn't slow down another exciting week at BACC’s Summer Day & Travel Camps!

Our campers at Day Program squeezed in free swim and swim lessons on Monday before the weather kept them indoors for the rest of the week. Thanks to our creative staff, every rainy day was filled with learning and laughter. In Art with Ms Genevieve, campers explored abstract expressionism by creating their own Jackson Pollock-inspired paint splash masterpieces and learned about Fauvism through colorful Henri Matisse-inspired paper cut-outs. In STEM, Mr. Trey helped each camper build a pizza box solar oven, which they'll put to good use next week! Campers also continued working toward their Camper Awards and wrapped up the week with a field trip to the New York State Museum in Albany.

Our Travel Camp crew stayed on the move despite the weather! They kicked off the week enjoying the beaches at Shepard Park and Grafton Lakes, spent Tuesday exploring the history of the Adirondacks at the Blue Mountain Lake Museum, enjoyed bowling at Spare Time and explored the New York State Museum on Wednesday and Thursday, and finished the week swimming at the Peerless Pool at the Spa State Park.

As always, a huge thank you to our amazing campers, staff, and families for making every week such a success. We can't believe we're already heading into Week 5, but here we go!
