Are these full-day programs or just a few hours?

It really depends on the campus and the specific program. Some BASIS Independent summer programs run like classic full-day camps, giving kids a packed schedule of learning and fun from morning to late afternoon. Others are designed as half-day or shorter sessions, perfect for families who want a more flexible routine. Some campuses even offer extended care, which is a total lifesaver for working parents. The key here is to check your local school’s schedule and options since each one builds its own summer lineup. Whether it’s a couple of hours or the whole day, just remember to pack snacks, water, and, yes, sunscreen.
