JUNIOR IntenCity Summer Service Camp is a service day-camp opportunity for students entering grades 1-4. This camp will run like a traditional summer day camp with a service element weaved into each day’s activities.

A limited number of field trip service experiences may be included.
INTENCITY Service Camp (Full Day)
For students entering Grades 5-8 (Fall 2018)

This is a great way to serve the Indianapolis community, learn new ways to use your gifts/talents for the service of others, have fun and meet new friends, share some life-changing experiences, and proclaim the Gospel!
Campers will meet at the BCHS St. Benedict Center each day and go into the community in various areas of service. Register early; these camps fill up quickly! Note: Sessions are organized by grade level. Please double check when you register that you are signing up for the correct camp for your child’s grade level.

Learn skills, have fun, exercise and work as a team! BCHS Athletic sports camps provide the camper with a chance to try a new sport or advance skills in one they already play.
Camps are led by BCHS coaches with BCHS Trojan athletes often assisting.
POP ART! Camp
Campers will experience the 1960s American Pop Art movement. They will create prints that emulate the work of Andy Warhol, create paintings like Roy Lichtenstein, and sculpt like Claus Oldenburg. Campers will work with a variety of materials to create the vibrant work of the Pop Artist and learn about Art History in the process.
Catholic Creative Crafts
Catholic Creative Crafts is a week of projects that are fun, beautiful, and can be used for prayer or to decorate the home. We’ll be making rosaries and Catholic jewelry, home decor using quotes from saints, string art using Catholic symbols from Art History, and an Encouraging Words Jar. This is for students who likes being creative and working with their hands. This camp is taught by professional artist Katie Sahm.

Cooking Camp
Calling all foodies! Do you like to cook? Do you like to eat? Do you watch too much of the Food Network? Students who sign up for this camp will experience a unique hands-on cooking extravaganza.

Are you funny? Are you not funny but want to be funny? Are you neither? Then this camp is perfect for you. Come learn the art form of Improv Comedy, featured on such TV shows such as ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’. Through this camp, students will be instructed in the basic rules of improv that allow for growth in the areas of listening, agreeing, creativity, and laughter. All campers will learn and participate in improv games designed to engage an audience and make them laugh. The camp will end with a showcase of new games and jokes.
Creative Writing Camp
In Bishop Chatard’s Creative Writing Camp, students will get their creative juices flowing by participating in a variety of writing exercises, prompts and games. Students will explore various styles and genres, including fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Students will share and discuss their favorite books, stories and poems, and use prompts to create their own, both individually and in large and small groups. Students will be encouraged to write in the style and genre of their choice. The week will culminate in a celebration and reading of student work.
