Community Calendar

For Ages 6 – 16

Join us in Summer 2026 for Camp BCS! When you sign up, your young artists will spend two weeks building community and establishing their own expansive creative toolboxes, all of which will help grow their confidence and offer them new and exciting paths to learning and knowing through arts.

We emphasize the development of a wide variety of skills and offer learning experiences in multiple disciplines of artistic expression so that our campers can present what they’ve learned in a showcase format. We work closely with our Teaching Artists serving as counselors (and the campers themselves!) to develop the material they feel best presenting, and we craft an engaging show to present to their loved ones and BCS Staff at the end of each session. Throughout their time at Camp BCS, students will practice artistic skill building through theater games and exercises, writing, visual arts, movement with music, STEAM workshops, and so much more.

Children ages 6 – 16 are eligible to attend. There are two 2-week sessions of Camp BCS, and each one has a maximum capacity of 45 campers. Campers are organized into smaller groups, or “villages”, organized by age range and grade. Throughout the day, campers move through class rotations with their village and will occasionally overlap with the two other villages for camp-wide programming and activities.

Are you single and looking to make new connections? Are you new to the area? Or are you looking to make new friends. Then come join us for a night of fast-paced fun at our speed dating event! Our speed dating event is designed to help you meet a variety of potential matches in a short amount of time. You'll have the opportunity to sit down with multiple singles for a series of quick, five-minute dates. After each conversation, you'll mark down whether or not you're interested in seeing that person again or remain friends.

Instead of sifting through countless profiles and risking ghosting or awkward dates, come to our speed dating events where you can meet multiple interesting people in one night. On average, attendees find 2-3 matches out of 10 potential partners. Even if you don’t find “the one,” most people leave with a smile, having enjoyed the experience and making at least one connection.

Light refreshments - drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages) & food will be available.

At the end of the night, you'll receive an email confirming who you are interested in. It's a great way to meet new people, break the ice, and potentially find a romantic connection.

So why wait? Sign up today and join us for a night of fun, flirting, and maybe even love!

On the date of the event, arrive 15 minutes early to check in with our host
Meet & Mingle: Food & drinks will be available so guests can eat and converse

You'll be seated at a numbered table and asked to rotate to the next number once our bell rings
After every 5 minutes, the bell will ring, and you'll go on the next 5-minute date
Takes notes to like/pass after each date with our dating pamphlet

Join a novel walking book club that covers more than novels! Come as we share whatever book we are reading or listening to lately to share passions, narratives, clever information, or artistry. Let’s learn from each other!

Walking outside is the ultimate exercise and an ideal way to socialize and relieve stress. So engage your physical, social, and mental/intellectual health in one go!

Rendezvous outside Central Library. From there, we will take various routes, walking a stretch before occasional pauses to take turns speaking. Expect to be back at the library in one hour. This event recurs every third Thursday of the month.

For questions, connection, or optional registration, contact the Business, Science, & Technology Department (BST) at [email protected] or (410) 396-5317.

Librarians from BST and the Fiction departments will be facilitating.
