This summer, Genius Gems is excited to be offering a full day session of our Genius Gems Summer Camp, hosted at Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) in Millburn! All of the things you love about Genius Gems, from science experiments to our collection of magnetic tiles, will be available to campers at this offsite location. CBI also boasts multiple large classrooms and a full outdoor playground!

Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) is located at 160 Millburn Avenue, just down the street from our Millburn location. All campers enrolled in our Full Day programs are to be dropped off at CBI, including those registered for early drop off. All after care programs will take place at Genius Gems Millburn. Following camp, our staff will escort all campers enrolled in after care (3-5 pm) to Genius Gems Millburn (less than a 10 minute walk), and campers will be picked up from Genius Gems Millburn. If we have enough demand for after care at our full day program, after care will be held at CBI.

Are you a nut-free facility?
We are allergy aware, but unfortunately we are not a nut free facility.
