Beyond the Classroom (BTC) is a K-5 after-school and summer day-camp program in South Pasadena, running Monday-Friday 8 am-6 pm. Its project- and play-based summer camp uses weekly arts-and-science themes with hands-on projects, weekly field trips and guest visits, plus swimming and beach outings. It was founded by two local former educators and also operates during school breaks.

Powered by GoogleOur son absolutely loved Camp BTC last summer and he has been talking about the camp ever since. Communicative and responsive staff, an engaging and a hands on curriculum and weekly field trips have made Camp BTC an incredible experience for our son! We have re-enrolled him for another summer and are looking forward to many more camps at BTC to come!
My kids are having so much fun at BTC! I love all the fun activities they do and the staff is really nice and sweet. We had a great time at Summer Camp and appreciate all the fun activities and kind counselors so much. Thank you for a memorable summer !
My son absolutely adores BTC. This year was his first camp experience and it felt like a family. They took such great care of him and he looked forward to going every day. Very thankful to them for creative a safe and fun environment for our children.
I can’t say enough great things about BTC! Both of my elementary school aged children are enrolled and I’m so grateful that the program exists. They provide a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for kids after school (and in their summer program)! I especially appreciate the focus on social-emotional learning with the entire staff, and especially the director, Samantha, that are so dedicated to developing a passion for learning and also a space for community building. BTC truly creates enriching experiences through different opportunities, activities, and classes that are increasingly/unfortunately left out of the normal school curriculum.
Btc was an awesome part of my childhood and all the workers shaped who I am today. I came back to volunteer and was greeted with the same welcoming staff. The kids are incredibly kind and many of them were so sad to see their favorite volunteers go at our annual sleepover.
