This summer, 58 children ages 5 to 13 enjoyed a fun-filled schedule of learning, creativity, and exploration at BCNC Red Oak Summer. Through hands-on activities such as cooking, sculpting, painting, and gardening, children developed new skills, discovered new interests, and found hobbies they can continue to explore.

For field trips, children visited the Boston Children's Museum, Museum of Science, Boston, New England Aquarium, Lucky Strike Somerville, ICA, and the LEGO Discovery Center. These experiences gave children opportunities to learn, play, and explore new places.

We’re excited to welcome Nian Wheeler and Emma Claire Everett, our 2026–2027 Commonwealth Corps members, to BCNC’s Adult Education team! 🎉

Nian and Emma Claire will work alongside BCNC staff to expand access to education and workforce opportunities for immigrant adult learners.

During their first week of orientation, Nian and Emma Claire explored Boston Chinatown by visiting Pao Arts Center’s Experience Chinatown murals. They learned more about Chinatown’s history, culture, and vibrant community through the murals.
