Hello BDC Family and Friends,

LAUGHTER is contagious and we at BDC have been bitten by the bug! This is a wonderful affliction which we at camp embrace with our whole beings!

As we enter Week #4 (Stop! It's going by too fast!!!) LAUGHTER is abundant in every corner of our campus. As I sit here writing this note, I can hear out my office window - the pure joy of adults and children LAUGHING together at camp.

BDC welcomes you if you are just joining us this week on Cape Cod! We promise to make you LAUGH a lot. And when you are done LAUGHING, we will make you LAUGH some more! If you are in need of a good LAUGH, come visit us at BDC or simply go find some silly kids (big or small) near you!

Wishing you an abundance of belly LAUGHS as well as lots of...

SAFETY IN THE BDC PARKING LOT:

  

Thank you in advance for keeping our busy parking lot safe for children and families. You are always welcome to park in the church lot next door to camp during drop off and pick up and use the BDC path near the Art Tent for easy access to the our campus.(The only time during the summer that this is not an option is during morning drop off during Week #5, July 21-25.)  

 

-Always follow the directions of the BDC Parking Attendants wearing orange vests.

  

- PLEASE: Refrain from using your cell phone when you enter our parking lot so that your full attention is on driving, parking, and helping your children. We are a cell phone FREE campus beginning at the incoming driveway!

  

-Use the white shelled Safe Path (through the trees) to stay away from cars near the BDC Office as you walk to and from the outgoing driveway lower parking lot. 

  

-Turn off your car when you exit your car to pick up your campers.

  

-While in the parking lot, children MUST remain with the adult who is picking them up/dropping them off (not playing with rocks in the lot, etc.)

  

- We are a smoke free campus. Please refrain from smoking in your car while in our lot.

  

THANK YOU  

for helping BDC keep our parking lot SAFE!  


EARLY PICKUP REMINDER:

If you need to pick up your child early from camp, please remember to call or stop by the Camp Office and fill out a memo! Please help us keep camp running smoothly...THANKS.
