SUMMER CAMP SIGN-UP

Introducing Tiered Price Points

During a time when the cost of everything is rising, the resources it takes to offer high-quality, professional artist-led summer camps are rising, too. At BTE, accessibility is part of our mission, and we never want price to be the reason a young person can't participate. To help keep our programs open to as many families as possible, we're introducing a tiered pricing model for all of our summer camps. When selected, each camp has a recommended price that reflects the true cost of running the program. You are welcome to select the tier that best matches what you are personally able to pay, no questions asked.

If price is still a barrier, we invite you to reach out to our Education Director, Abigail Leffler (abigaill@bte.org) to discuss scholarships and additional options so every young artist can join us!
