Welcome to STEMing into Sports!

STEMing into Sports is Our Bright Future's Summer Program based in Dudley, MA. This week long program is offered 5 different weeks in the summer, and is the perfect opportunity for kids ages 7-15 to indulge in STEM during their summer break. Our Bright Future provides the opportunity and resources for students to explore their curiosities and their ideas in real time. We incorporate core values such as education, empowerment, discipline, leadership, diversity, and respect into our programs to help students shape futures into bright ones.

Necessary Forms to Complete

Before your child begins camp, a few important forms must be completed. These include an acknowledgment of our parent handbook, an enrollment form, a first aid consent form, and a social media consent form. While these forms will be available for completion during drop-off on the first day of camp, you may choose to print and fill them out in advance to save time. You can find the forms below.

About Our Camp

During our STEMing Into Sports Summer Camp, students will take part in a variety of fun and engaging STEM activities while staying active. The camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, providing a balanced mix of hands-on learning and physical activity.

At the start of each week, students are placed into groups based on their age and prior experience in our programs. Each morning begins with a social-emotional learning activity to encourage a positive mindset and set the tone for a successful day.

Throughout the day, students rotate through different activity stations, including robotics, 3D printing, gym time, and either bioscience or Cricut Club, with bioscience and Cricut Club alternating every other day. In addition, once a week, our partners from Cornerstone Bank visit to teach important financial literacy skills.

Each day, students will:

Participate in two activity stations in the morning
Take a snack break between stations
Enjoy a lunch break (students must bring their own lunch)
Complete two more stations in the afternoon
This structured schedule ensures a full day of learning, creativity, and physical activity, making for an exciting and enriching camp experience!

What to Bring

Testimonials

So thankful my child got to be a part of “Our Bright Future Inc.” this summer. She has learned so many new creative things, played sports, and met great new friends. She absolutely loves every second of it! She’s truly sad this is the last week. This program has challenged her in so many intellectual and stimulating hand on ways. From building robots to programming and arts, sports, production, editing, music, and banking, the list goes on. What an amazing program to be a part of! Already looking forward to attending next summer!

Thank you for giving our kids excitement, motivation and eagerness
to wake up in the mornings to get to the camp! You, guys did it!

I just wanted to say thank you for putting together a wonderful program this summer. Darryn is like a changed child for the better because of going and meeting all of you. He said, "it's like my eyes are open to so much more now". Amazing is all I can say. I have definitely watched him grow as a human being this summer. Plans for next year please keep us in the loop about. I know he is eager to come back and possibly be in a counselor role. I also would like to have my granddaughter participate in the camp next year. Have a great summer and thank you again for all your hard work.
