Dear BDC Families and Friends,
What an incredible first five weeks of camp we have experienced! As we walk The Hills each day, our eyes and ears are filled with the sights and sounds of HAPPINESS. Campers and counselors are joyous, kind and exuberant in their interactions with one another. In addition, our phone calls and email inbox are full of messages from parents and families remarking on the HAPPINESS that surrounds our campus and programs. As Co-Directors of BDC — we are thrilled to witness all of this HAPPINESS!
Last Friday, we celebrated Olympic Day at BDC. Congratulations to Team Algeria, whose sportsmanship and good spirit earned them an officially engraved spot on the coveted BDC Olympic Day Trophy!
This week is Carnival Week! On Friday morning, BDC is transformed into a camp carnival, complete with a haunted house, face painting, a fortune teller and much, much more! HAPPINESS will abound - guarantied!
BDC Reminders:
If you are coming to BDC for Friday Morning Assembly, please drop your campers off and come back to park in our lot after 8:45am. Thank you!
Have you been to Family Swim yet this summer? Come cool off in our pool from 5:00-6:00pm Monday-Friday!
Join us in celebrating two more weeks of our own brand of Brewster Day Camp HAPPINESS filled to the brim with Courage, Hope, Good Spirit and Peace!
Sincerely,

Brewster Day Camp Activity Heads and Directors award campers with BDC Activity Beads every day! The BDC Bead System is a unique and intentional way for campers to track their weekly schedule and to take pride in what they’ve accomplished during their time at 3570 Main Street. Campers can check out the BDC Bead Board on Sailors Hill to see all of the different colored beads they might earn during their time at at camp. |
Each Hill Head and Activity Head hands out one BDC Bead at Friday Morning Assembly. These Beads of the Week are awarded to campers who showcase BDC's motto "Courage, Hope, Good Spirit & Peace" throughout the five days. Congratulations to all of our Bead of the Week winners this summer! |

A pure moment of HAPPINESS is shared between two Javelins campers and their Tent Counselors. A huge shout out to all the BDC '22 Tent Counselors, whose dedication, energy and joy create the magic that is Brewster Day Camp! |

Mariners Hill Camp participated in a mini Olympic Day last Thursday! Campers, counselors and directors enjoyed activities like the Sponge and Bucket Filling Relay (below). Everyone was eager and HAPPY to play and get wet all morning! |

LOOKING AHEAD Thursday of Week #7 is Wampanoag Day!
On this day, we celebrate the gift of time. For two hours in the morning, campers come off their regular schedules, and we take down the clocks to allow children the freedom to explore BDC's activity spaces without time constraints. We honor TFS Inc's founder, Marcia Galazzi, and the message she spread:
"The time it takes is the time it takes.”
