The BICO Club went camping at Patapsco Valley State Park on May 17th. Sixteen youth and four adults spent over 20 hours straight out in nature!

The BICO Club went to the Piedmont Nature Center in Gywnn Oak on April 27th. This facility has a lot to offer including the chance to learn and get really close to honey bees. Students were able to put on beekeeper suits and get within a few inches of an active hive containing over 30,000 bees!

Please join us this Friday, May 3rd for our Young Business Expo!  Please see the flyer for more details.  

The BICO Club went to Druid Hill Park on March 29th to try Disc Golf. For this activity, participants throw a Frisbee from a tee to a basket, which is the hole, which is usually 200 feet or more away. What makes it even more challenging (and fun) is that there are all kinds of obstacles: bushes, hills, trees, mud, rocks, and lots of branches.
