When the days get longer and the sun shines a bit brighter, members of our Mountaineer community begin to plan for the summer months. After the last day of school in June, classes will be out of session until late August; however, BASIS Independent Bellevue’s campus will remain open, and our team will host various summer programs!

Organized by our Auxiliary Department, our campus will be offering exciting opportunities to explore interests, connect with peers, and engage in learning while school is out. Summer sessions are a great time to pursue interests and sharpen skills while creating lasting memories in the process. This year, our summer programs offer engaging experiences designed to meet the interest of our learning community. Whether diving into art, technology, or athletics, there is something for everyone in our summer programs. 

Spending Summer 2025 with BASIS Independent Bellevue 

In summer 2025, programs will run between the weeks of June 24 to August 15. Programming offered includes day camps, academic camps, specialty camps, and even sports. 

Summer programs mean opportunities to engage with friends, try new challenges, and discover interests in an environment that celebrates curiosity. Some might explore dynamic arts programming or delve into an athletic interest in our sports camps like Beginner’s Basketball. Our camps reflect our Mountaineer community’s wide array of interests and help campers get deeper into the topics and activities that fuel their passions with offerings that focus on fashion, chess, archery, sewing, entrepreneurship, engineering, and more. For parents, our diverse offerings not only promise an exciting break but also support academic growth, social development, and the building of life skills. Summer programs at BASIS Independent Bellevue are designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and encourage exploration.

Day camps are a great way for students to engage with versatile programming where they will have fun while learning. In order to meet the interests of our community, the Auxiliary Department has created a schedule of weekly themes to engage students in unique and fun ways. Campers who join our day camps will solve mysteries during The Great Camp Caper, explore everything about space in Calling Mission Control, appreciate the natural world in The Wilds Beyond, or ignite their inner superhero in Earth’s Mightiest Camper. The daily camp schedule includes activities specifically tailored to fit those themes while mixing indoor and outdoor play. Each week will come to an end with a Fun Friday event. Campers can look forward to exciting special guests that relate to the week’s theme. Parents can register their child for multiple weeks to experience all the adventures our campus has to offer!

Camps highlighting the fundamentals of reading and writing also prove popular amongst members of the intellectually aspirational learning community at BASIS Independent Bellevue. For example, our Creative Writing camp is a standout in this year’s summer lineup. Students in this program will explore how to write characters, build an exciting plot, enrich setting, and engage prompts in meaningful, innovative ways. Creative Writing will enable campers to work independently but also in a small group setting so that they can share work and refine key skills that can invigorate their craft. For those looking to dive deeper into language and literary expression, our Poetry Camp also invites students to experiment with form, tone, and performance in a fun, low-pressure space. Whether students are seasoned writers or a lover of reading and writing, our programs offer the tools and encouragement to develop their unique voice, increase fluency, and craft impactful work

Music is another area where our Auxiliary Department has expanded offerings, with several exciting new options. DJ Camp introduces campers to professional remixing software, helping them craft their own mixes while learning about audio editing and beat production. Jazz Camp offers instrumentalists the chance to refine their technique, explore improvisation, and collaborate in ensemble settings. Our new Music & Sound Production Camp goes even deeper, giving students hands-on experience in storytelling and worldbuilding through audio, including sound design and film production.

Across various fields of interest, our summer programs keep our campus community alive and thriving when school is out of session. These programs help students discover new passions and build essential skills. For more details, check out our full summer guide and register today.
