The Bear After-School Experience (BASE) is a child-centered environment focused on the development of social responsibility, intellectual curiosity, self-esteem, and discovery of new passions and affinities. We offer a diverse array of activities, from leading-edge experiential learning programs to athletic endeavors, art experiences and technological explorations. Every student can find something that interests them, broadens their horizons and helps identify passions that contribute to Dawson's goals of savoring life and striving for personal excellence. The BASE program is divided into two components: BASE Camp and BASE Enrichment.
