Description: Calling all animal lovers! In this session, kids can wander into the wild with amazing animals from our oceans, lands, and skies. Join us as we learn about animals from all parts of the world.  We will discover their habitats and learn about the adaptations that help them survive. Campers will love learning more about the wild animals in our very own Mt. Diablo backyard too. Our animal lovers will create murals of different animal habitats, dissect owl pellets, make their own stuffed animals, and so much more. We will also take a safari field trip over to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum on the last Friday of the session.

Description: Explore the jungle, swim through the seas, travel across the grasslands, and trek through the tundra. Throughout these two weeks, we will learn about the amazing wildlife that live on our planet. From polar bears to tree frogs, each day will cover a new biome along with the species that live there. The session will wrap up as we prepare for a safari of our own to see the “lions, monkeys, and elephants” that live on our very own campus! (Includes swim lessons)

Description: The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about storytelling in make-believe worlds of sword and sorcery. In this game, a group of players create imaginary characters and band together to embark on an imaginary adventure.  D&D provides structure to these adventures by using a set of rules combined with an element of chance to determine the consequences of the characters' actions. Players roll dice to resolve whether or not their character is able to accomplish some heroic feat or daring gambit. Anything is possible, but the dice make some things more probable than others.

Grade: 5-8
Cost: $630

Description:
The CIT program will provide a hands-on opportunity to develop a variety of skills necessary for future employment as a camp counselor and for skills that will help them work with campers. CITs will have a well-structured yet flexible series of workshops where they will have the opportunity to learn more about the different aspects of being a camp counselor and working with campers. CITs will learn valuable leadership and communications skills and have the opportunity to participate in a self-motivated program designed around their ambitions to work towards their goal of being a camp counselor. CITs will develop the skills by participating in swimming, games, field trips, first aid and child safety as well as leadership and child psychology courses. Our goal is to give young people the opportunity to work under a qualified director and to begin to learn and understand the demands and responsibilities of a camp counselor’s job. Campers will look to CITs as leaders and role models, therefore, high standards of conduct, attitude and good judgment are expected at all times while working with campers.

Our summer enrichment classes are a great option for families looking to customize their child’s summer experience. More information and class schedules are here.
