Summer Brain Gain helps prevent youth from falling behind and losing academic skills while school is out.
Summer Brain Gain is comprised of one-week modules with fun, themed activities for elementary school, middle school and high school students that are aligned with common core anchor standards. Supported by Disney, each module takes a project-based learning approach: youth engage in a process of learning through discovery, creative expression, group work and a final project or production. As a result, kids develop higher-order thinking skills through the Summer Brain Gain modules while staying on track for the coming school year.
In addition, with support from Staples, BGCA introduced Summer Brain Gain: Read!, a literacy program that complements the larger Summer Brain Gain curriculum. To improve the reading skills of America's youth, Summer Brain Gain: Read! is a summer reading program with a new book presented each week per age group, along with supporting activities that bring the book to life.
Grades: Elementary - High school.

- Zumba classes are 6:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays in our courtyard. Free and open to all. Check Instagram and Facebook Stories for latest Zumba news.
- Meditation classes meet at 6pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our Community Room. Free and open to all.
- Unstructured Silent Meditation gathers Mondays from 9am to 10am. This meditation hour is silent and unstructured; you can enter the space at any time during the hour to meditate. Participants will meditate facing the wall, so as not to be disturbed by those entering after 9. A greeter will act as time keeper–- ringing a bell at 9 to start the sitting period; at 9:30 to signal the midway point, during which one can change their sitting position, or practice walking meditation; and 10 to signal the end of the sitting period.
- Self-Led Ashtanga meets at 9am on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our Community Room. People with an existing yoga practice are invited to do yoga in community; no teacher is present. Mats available.
- AA meets virtually --and occasionally live -- in our community room on Saturdays at 12pm. Join here.
