General Info

  • What should my child wear to camp?
    Campers should come to camp in clothing that is comfortable to move in. They should wear closed toed sneakers or shoes and avoid any unsafe footwear including flip flops, shoes with a heel, or boots. We also suggest packing a hat, sunglasses, and a sweater (for indoor activities). If your child’s camp has specific requirements, you will be informed.
  • What should I do if my child needs to be absent from camp?
    Please email summer_programs@bullis.org to let camp staff know they will be absent. Office staff will let camp instructors and counselors know.
  • Are guests allowed to observe camps?
    For the safety of all campers, we do not allow any non-registered guests or visitors to attend camp. The exception to this is any invited performances or camp sharing days, which parents would be notified about in advance.
  • Can non-Bullis students register for summer camp?
    Yes! Bullis Summer Programs is open to all children between the ages of 3½-17.
  • Are lunch or snacks provided?
    All campers should bring a nut-free lunch that does not need to be refrigerated or heated in a microwave each day. We recommend packing non-perishable foods and packing lunch with a cold pack. Snacks will be provided to all campers throughout the day. Friday will be camp pizza day. Pizza will be provided to all campers for no additional fee. However, campers participating in a camp that is off-site (Aviation and Wilderness & Adventure camps) or are in Bulldog Jr. Day Camp (half-day PM session only), should bring a lunch on Friday. Additionally, if campers have dairy or gluten allergies, they should bring a lunch from home on Friday.
