"BFR summer camp is a full day experience, designed with a wide range of activities guaranteed to expand your child’s horizons. It is open to youth ages 5 to 12.," said Tinch.

He continued: "Kids have fun while making new friends, developing new skills, learning core values, building self confidence and growing in self-reliance.

"Campers experience a variety of indoor and outdoor activities based around weekly themes.

"In addition, campers stay active in education through our daily active readers club built into each day."
