🚍Field Trip Fun Alert! 🚍

Our Bartow Bash campers took over the Florida Children’s Museum AND Bonnet Springs Park—and it was EPIC!

From interactive exhibits to outdoor adventures, it was the perfect mix of learning and fun. Summer memories are being made every step of the way!

The Bartow Bash crew stomped, roared, and explored through prehistoric fun on our latest field trip! From fossil digs to giant dinos, it was a Jurassic-sized adventure they’ll never forget! 🦕🪨🌿
