Camps & Youth Programs: Empowering Youth & Adults
For over 20 years, Camps at Butler have provided a dynamic and inclusive environment where youth and adults can explore new passions, build lasting connections, and grow in a supportive community. Hosted by the Butler Arts & Events Center (BAEC), these camps offer transformative experiences that inspire creativity, foster curiosity, and promote a sense of belonging.
The BAEC Camps Fund ensures that all students—regardless of background—have access to these opportunities, helping to provide financial assistance, camp supplies, and compensation for the talented staff who lead the programs. This fund is key to maintaining the diverse, inclusive environment that makes Camps at Butler a special place for all participants. We hope that you will support us in this important work.
Exciting and Dynamic Programming
Camps at Butler feature a wide variety of engaging programs designed to inspire and challenge participants of all ages. Whether it’s music, dance, esports, leadership, healthcare, or more, our camps offer exciting opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop new skills. With expert instructors and a hands-on approach to learning, students engage in a creative, fun environment where they can explore, grow, and connect with others who share their passions. The dynamic programming ensures that every participant leaves with new skills, experiences, and friendships.

Empowering Creativity and Community
At Camps at Butler, we believe that camp has the unique power to build inclusive, welcoming communities where students of all backgrounds feel empowered to learn and grow. Through interactive experiences, students develop critical life skills—such as teamwork, empathy, and creative problem-solving—that extend far beyond the camp experience.
By supporting the BAEC Camps Fund, you help foster these values and ensure that every participant has the chance to discover their creative potential, form meaningful connections, and thrive in a nurturing environment.
