Summer Camp UPDATE

We have officially begun the planning process for the upcoming Summer Camp season. Families are encouraged to keep an eye out for registration announcements, which will be released in the coming weeks. The camp has long been a cherished summer tradition in the community, offering local children a fun, safe, and engaging environment filled with outdoor activities, creativity, and connection.

In addition to preparing for another exciting summer, the Parents Group is also seeking counselors to join the team. Serving as a camp counselor is a rewarding opportunity for those who enjoy working with children, building leadership skills, and spending time in the Bear Valley outdoors.

Flyer for Bear Valley Summer Camp from June 15 to August 7 featuring a group photo of smiling campers outdoors, and including details about hiring camp counselors, pay rate, and application instructions.

Help Us Build What’s Next for Bear Valley School

Thanks to the Powder Pigs, Bear Valley School Gets a New Playground – But the Work Isn’t Done!”


Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Powder Pigs, Bear Valley School now has a brand new playground, and the kids are loving it! Their support has created a fun, safe space where students can play, explore, and just be kids.

While this is an exciting step forward, important work remains. Our current priority projects include:

  • ADA Compliance – Upgrading bathrooms and installing a lift that services all three levels of the school to ensure accessibility for everyone.

  • Tunnel Rebuild – Rebuilding the deteriorating tunnel leading into the school to safely withstand water and snow loads.

  • Carpet Repair – Replacing worn and damaged carpeting throughout the school to maintain a safe and clean learning environment.

  • More Storage – Adding additional storage space to keep classrooms organized and better support teachers and students.

Each project is vital to maintaining a safe, accessible, and welcoming environment for our students.

If you, your business, or anyone who believes in supporting our school would like to contribute, your donation would mean so much to our community. You can even choose a specific project to support.
