Bayshore Christian Ministries

Rooted in the neighborhood and families of East Palo Alto and reaching over 400 youth, Bayshore Christian Ministries has held to the same vision for 32 years. We have partnered with over twenty churches and organizations to accomplish our mission of equipping youth, so they have hope and a future.

WHAT WE ARE PROMOTING

• “My favorite activity is when we looked up about different computer parts. My favorite activity today is when I created my game, its name is: 99.99% Impossible. It has 3 levels. The first level is kind of hard. The second level is a little harder. The third, VERY HARD.” -6th grade boy from CREATE Academy 2015

This summer BCM is promoting our academic and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) programs. 

* KidSmart Summer Bridge is a three-week extension of KidSmart for a select group of 10-15 elementary grade students to help them engage in academics and hone skills needed for the next grade level.

 

* CREATE Academy, our featured 4-week full-day summer camp for youth in 5th-8th grade. The goal of CREATE Academy is to expose middle school students to mathematics, technology and art instruction in order to strengthen their critical thinking and mathematics skills, as well as grow their confidence in preparation for future opportunities in STEAM programs and careers.
