Summer Camp at BT!
BT Camps offers an incredible range of programs and activities for campers as young as 2 and as old as 15. This includes our traditional Day Camp (and Travel Camp) along with several Specialty Camps including a STEAM Program. We have Nursery Camp and Kinder Camp for the younger campers. Our Baltimore County summer camp is a great place for kids to grow!
Our facility includes four swimming pools and aquatics center (with a triple-decker double-barreled water slide), a lake with boats and a 25-ft slide, along with arts and crafts, nature, ropes course, zip line and plenty of ballfields and green space for play.
Our staff is powered by dedicated teachers, young adults, and very responsible high school students, many of whom have grown through the years at BT Camps.

KinderCamp
KinderCamp offers your child the opportunity to transition to the “big camp” in Reisterstown.
This transitional program is for four-year-olds (potty trained), where they can attend the big-camp (in lieu of Nursery Camp) for a half-day program (Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9:00am – 1:00pm). They will take the bus to camp, and they will be picked up at BT Camps in Reisterstown. (Note – we do not offer pick up of KinderCampers at Old Court Road).
KinderCampers will enjoy one swim per day, along with sports, arts and much more and will eat lunch at camp before they depart for the day. KinderCampers will participate in carnival but will not yet experience color war or Shabbat song sessions.
Nursery Camp
For our youngest campers, Nursery Camp takes place at Beth Tfiloh on Old Court Road and is available for campers age 2, 3 & 4. There is no transportation for this program. Nursery Camp is different than nursery school, with lots of outdoor play, camp specialists, and more. Camp is located at Beth Tfiloh Community School on Old Court Road in Pikesville. The campers use Beth Tfiloh’s state-of-the-art preschool facilities including gymnasium and playground. Campers are placed in small groups separated by age, so programming can be age appropriate. The program includes a structured variety of activities such as physical education, water play with water tables and sprinklers, story time, arts and crafts, singing, nature, and Friday Kabbalat Shabbat.
