Summer Camp Programs
A summer camp should be more than a “summer program”. Camps should have grass, ballfields, professional staff, dedicated aquatic facilities, and make campers and their parents feel comfortable. We do that. Our staff is powered by dedicated teachers, young adults, and very responsible high school upperclassmen. We offer an incredible range of programs and activities for campers as young as 2 and as old as 15. BT Camps offers Day Camp along with several Specialty Camps for the older campers. We have Nursery Camp and Kinder Camp for the younger campers. Our Baltimore County summer camp is a great place for kids to grow.

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.
