Collection: Summer Camp Held at the University of South Florida (Tampa)

Great question: None! For every BAM activity, our instructors provide all necessary equipment and gear. Kids do not need to bring anything additional. This includes laptops, robotic sets, art supplies and sports equipment.

Kids must wear comfortable athletic clothing and shoes to play sports. For safety reasons, we do not permit open toe footwear/crocs/sandals. In addition, please send a full water bottle with your child daily so they stay hydrated during the entire session.

BAM! provides programs for kids 4 to 14. We list ages and grades for every program on our website. Please refer to that registration information to determine the age cutoff for the program of your choice.

At the end of each session, instructors go through their rosters and check students out one by one. This sends an email to parents/guardians indicating that their child has been picked up. Teachers release students ONLY to the parent(s)/guardian(s) on file, or to their emergency contact.

If the parent/s or guardian/s on file, or their emergency contact, cannot pick up their student, a parent-written notice should be sent to BAM prior to the program start. Please reach out to our customer service team at contact@brains-and-motion.com with any questions.

If you run late, your child will be safe. Instructors leave no children alone for any reason. They will wait with your student until an authorized caretaker picks them up. However, we do charge a $5 per minute fee for late pick-ups (non-negotiable), beginning five minutes after the session ends.

With each check-out email, you may rate your child’s instructor. We take instructor ratings seriously and encourage you to provide feedback at every opportunity. Our teachers benefit from hearing about a job well done – or one that requires change.

During the registration process, you can – and should – note any relevant medical information pertaining to your child which might affect their participation in BAMs’ programs. However, please note that our instructors and coaches are not medical professionals. In most cases, they are permitted to perform only basic first aid. In emergencies, they must contact the school office, parents, and/or call 911. Each child’s safety and well being is our utmost priority, so instructors will always take prompt action to care for your child.

No. BAM runs its own programs, in cooperation with public and private schools and local school districts.

Please make sure to apply sunscreen to your child prior to arriving at camp. We recommend that you send a bottle of sunscreen with your child so they can re-apply as needed during the day.

You may request that your child is grouped with his/her friends prior to the start of camp. Once camp begins, we can not move kids between groups.
