Camp Bridgeport runs from July 9 through Aug. 27 at Bridgeport Village off Interstate 5 in Lake Oswego. Each camp begins with book readings and snacks at Borders book store. Kids will then travel to the gazebo at the center of the village for the day's activities:

July 23: Mad Science - Always a favorite for kids as they see smoke rise, toilet paper fly and get to wear official science glasses when chosen as a volunteer.

July 30: Motion Commotion by OMSI - Motion Commotion is a fabulous foray filled with fascinating physics fun! Student volunteers participate in Sir Isaac Newton's 300-year-old experiments by using ordinary objects to demonstrate the physics at work around us each day. These exciting demonstrations make physics incredibly easy to understand.

August 6: Young Chef's Academy - Join owner Lisa Field as she gets kids excited about the joys of cooking, chopping, and baking! Lisa's business is located in Tualatin and has many classes available throughout the year.

August 13: OR Commissions- An exciting partnership between five of our State Commissions have come together to educate kids about shopping locally, cooking with local ingredients and learning about these five commissions. Included in the partnership is OR Dairy, OR Blueberries, OR Fryer, OR Pear and OR Potatoes.

August 20: Gymboree - An action-packed day for your little ones to participate in. Coloring, painting, water play, and dance are just a few of the activities with which you will be involved.

August 27: Oregon Historical Society - Celebrating the summer exhibit of Michael Curry's Puppetry: An Out of Body Experience. Kids will learn the art of operating puppetry and what goes on in the design of creation. Michael Curry's work can be found in the Walt Disney Company Theatrical version of The Lion King, among many others.
