“Summer camps aren’t open, and my kids don’t like learning online,” says a mom.
The BtNL summer camps teach kids leadership and teamwork skills through fun and creative activities. They participate in the same activities as an onsite camp, just now at home.
Students have the opportunity to meet other kids from around the country, and access a youth leadership program that is traditionally based exclusively in Portland, Oregon.

Does anyone have any feedback on the preK program at JH? I have someone in another group asking about it. TIA!
