Summer Camp

Get ready for a day where imagination meets innovation — all in Spanish! At our Building, Design & Game Makers Spanish Immersion Camp, campers explore, create, and collaborate entirely in Spanish, making it a rich and engaging language experience woven naturally into every activity.

In the mornings, young builders dive into the world of construction and architecture, exploring how the structures around us are designed and built. Through hands-on projects and collaborative challenges, campers will design and construct their own models, experiment with different materials, and discover how architecture brings together art, science, and functionality — all while developing skills in stability, balance, and planning.

In the afternoons, creativity takes a new form as campers step into the Game Creation Lab! Each participant will invent their own board game from scratch — designing the board, crafting the pieces, writing the rules, and putting their game to the test with fellow campers. It's a perfect blend of creative thinking, strategy, and teamwork as every idea gets brought to life.

Whether your child is a native Spanish speaker or on their language learning journey, this camp offers a fun and immersive environment where language and creativity go hand in hand.

Get ready for an unforgettable summer filled with adventure, creativity, and wonder! At Explorers and Artists Camp, campers spend their mornings discovering the stunning trails of the Bay Area through guided hikes and hands-on exploration. Young explorers build physical stamina, environmental awareness, and confidence while uncovering the incredible diversity of the outdoors.

In the afternoons, the magic continues indoors with a Totoro-inspired art project! Drawing from the beloved world of My Neighbor Totoro, campers will design and build their own shadow lamp using paper cutting, simple construction, and light — and when the light turns on, their cut-out designs cast beautiful shadows that bring the scene to life.

One camp, one incredible day — fresh air, exploration, and creativity all woven together into a summer your child won't forget!

Theater is one of the oldest and most powerful things human beings have ever done — and this summer, your child gets to be part of that tradition. At Young Performers Theater Camp, campers don’t just watch stories unfold. They step inside them.

At Songs & Stories Around the World Camp, campers spend their days finding their voice — first through music, then through the stories and cultures of the world.

Mornings — Songwriting 

In a warm, playful, and completely judgment-free environment, campers will discover the magic of putting words to a melody. Every child has something to say, and this camp gives them the tools, the confidence, and the joy of saying it through music — and perhaps realizing for the very first time that they are musicians.

Afternoons — Around the World 

No passport needed! Each afternoon is a new destination as campers travel the entire globe — visiting every continent, meeting remarkable historical figures, hearing ancient myths, and making something beautiful from every corner of the earth.

The city is a playground — and this summer, campers are going to use every inch of it. Sports in the City is an active, outdoor French immersion camp that takes children beyond the school gates and into the city's parks, plazas, and open spaces to play, move, and explore together — all in French.

This is not your typical summer camp. There are no bleachers to sit in, no fixed schedules, and no games assigned by someone else. Here, the campers decide what they play — and then they figure out how to get there. Every day is a small, real-world adventure, designed to build independence, teamwork, and a genuine love of being active outdoors.

Afternoons — Beat Makers 

Get ready to make some noise! Beat Makers is a high-energy, hands-on music experience where young musicians discover the power of rhythm and percussion. No instruments? No problem — in this camp, everything is an instrument. Campers will explore rhythm and beat-making through drumming, body percussion, and found-sound music, experimenting with buckets, sticks, hand drums, and everyday objects. The highlight of the week?

At Craft & Wander Camp, campers slow down, step outside, and create — spending their days connecting with the natural world and making something beautiful with their hands.

Mornings — Nature Journal 

Camp 

Step outside and see the world in a whole new way! Young explorers head outdoors with sketchbook in hand to observe, draw, and write about the natural world around them. From sketching wildflowers and insects to capturing the colors of the sky, campers learn to notice the small, beautiful details that most people walk right past. No artistic experience needed — just curiosity and a love of the outdoors.

Afternoons — Knit Looming 

There is something deeply satisfying about making something with your hands that didn't exist before — something soft, colorful, and genuinely useful that you can hold, wear, or give away. In the afternoons, campers are introduced to the world of fiber arts through loom knitting, finger knitting, weaving, and more, in a warm, relaxed, and wonderfully creative environment. No experience needed, and no two campers will leave with the same thing.

One camp, one incredible day — wander in the morning, craft in the afternoon!
