CAMP THEMES FOR 2025

Every summer for our first session we like to start with a deep and hands-on focus on nature. Since it is still technically spring when we start we take the opportunity to get our hands dirty with planting, gardening, and exploring the wonderful and surprising brilliance of nature. By planting early we allow the children to experience the cycle of seed to sprout to full-grown plants by the end of summer. This year we’ll have an additional focus on insects and how they interact with the environment to help all the plants on earth grow. 

For our field trips we’ll be heading to Tilden Farm in Berkeley and CuriOdyssey in San Mateo!

 

STEM Focus: Ecology, Biology, Building and Construction 

Arts Focus: Jewelry, Sculpture, Nature Design

Physical Focus: Variety of Team Sports and Games

After spending our first session on planet earth we’ll launch into space to explore our solar system, our galaxy and then the universe! Who knows, maybe we’ll even go back in time to visit the dinosaurs or zoom into the future to see what the world looks like in a thousand years! Once again, we’ll be doing lots of hands-on exploration. We’ll get to build and use tools, create artistic masterpieces, explore space flight and more!
For our two field trips we’ll be doing indoor skydiving at iFly in Union City and Chabot Space and Science Center in the Oakland Hills!  

We’re bringing back this fun theme from last year because it was such a hit! What can be better than enjoying waterplay during hot summer days! We’ll be spending lots of outdoor time, with water play and super cool water based STEM projects each day. Bring your bathing suits and changes of clothes! We’ll definitely have a foam party on Fridays and each of our two field trips will be to Crown Beach in Alameda which is a fantastic and safe beach for kids to swim and splash around in.
