Bradley Hills PTA is excited to offer after school enrichment programming this fall in partnership with Baroody Camps.  All classes are held onsite at Bradley Hills from 3:35 – 4:35pm. Students go directly from their classrooms to their enrichment programs. 

The fall session will run from Oct 12 – Dec 3 with classes available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Please see the flyer below for the class schedule and pricing information. When classes are open to a range of grades, we encourage parents to review the class description and consider whether class offerings will engage their older students’ interests.  

Full details about each class and registration information can be found online at Bradley Hills PTA Enrichment Programs, powered by Baroody Camps (https://bc-mco-bradleyhills.jumbula.com/home). You will be able to register directly from this site beginning on Monday, Sept 14 at 10am. Don’t delay! Your favorite class will fill up quickly.
