Due to coronavirus (COVID-19) current situation, we are currently having our classes ONLINE. We are planning to offer our in-person programs as soon as it is safe to do so. The online camp descriptions are similar to our in-person camp descriptions below, but the activities will be live demonstrations/instructions instead that students can follow during class. We’ll send family with a simple supply list for them to gather at home and activities to print out, if any, before class, but not a requirement to have.
Please read our In-Person Class Protocol for Parents or Guardians to review how Bionerds will do an extra length to keep our students and teachers safe in class.
Camp 2020 Programs are here. Click the button below to check out the schedule.
