The inclusivity-focused STEM and sports educator has expanded
its vision for affordable yet premium summer enrichment, hoping
other camps will follow suit.
SAN
FRANCISCO, May 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- After
tens of thousands of NYC children were turned away from
"Summer Rising," New York City's popular, free summer
enrichment program, Brains & Motion launched a campaign
offering camps at NYU for a small
fraction of the up-to-$1400 per week
price it typically costs to attend a program on a prestigious
university campus.
"Coast-to-coast, how many families can we
help between us all?" asked Yu.
Now, BAM! is extending a similar offer to parents and kids in
the San Francisco Bay Area: The
first 100 families to enroll for a week of BAM! camp at UC Berkeley
will pay only $299. This initiative
reflects the company's dedication to serving the communities in
which it operates, opening doors for students who may not otherwise
have access to cutting-edge tech courses, expert mentorship, joyful
outdoor movement, or opportunities to bond with like-minded
friends.
"After seeing parents' incredible response to our New York City camp initiative, we knew we
needed to expand our efforts and reach more students coast-to-coast
in need of quality enrichment," said Brains & Motion's CMO
Christina Yu. "Every child deserves an encouraging space to learn
new skills, explore careers, and make friends while getting plenty
of exercise. We're absolutely thrilled to have the resources to
make this possible for families who may not otherwise be able to
afford camp tuition at a location like UC Berkeley. It's the ideal
way to celebrate our inaugural year on university
campuses."
BAM! summer camps reflect the company's research-backed approach
to providing kids with educational experiences that mesh healthy
amounts of play and sports with hands-on learning about
engineering, animation, game design, creative writing, digital
arts, coding, and much more. Simply put, kids who get more exercise
learn better and retain more.
Parents and fellow educators nationwide trust BAM! to deliver
life-changing learning experiences, both during the school year and
over the summer. Camps held on university campuses like UC Berkeley
have myriad benefits for elementary and middle schoolers, both in
the short and long-term. In addition to diving into fun STEM
projects in the labs or shooting hoops on the campus courts, kids
get a glimpse of what it's like to attend college.

Motion summer camps held at UC Berkeley for the discounted price of
$299 a week until the 100 slots are
filled.
Brains & Motion very much hopes that other prestigious
summer camp providers will follow suit. "Coast-to-coast, how many
families can we help between us all? I'd love to see all kids
experience a summer in which they have fun learning and create
unforgettable memories in the process," said Yu.
