Journey through the world exploring song, dance, art, cuisine, language and more. Campers practice school routines, hold important classroom responsibilities, and collaborate through engaging and hands-on activities and projects, all the while enhancing their understanding of the world around them. Week after week, campers grab their passports and travel to a different part of the globe. Each day is framed by a unique question for campers to explore.

• How do people around the world celebrate and express their cultures?
• How do people communicate and share their stories?
• How do children play and have fun in various cultures?
• How does the environment influence the way people live in different countries?
• What makes each region special and unique? 

Campers will explore these questions through a multi-disciplinary lens, combining familiar subjects to help them unpack their own answers to these exciting questions. Our curriculum is loosely framed by California State Standards for Pre-K through 2nd grade along with the Learning for Justice Standards standards around identity, diversity, justice and action. The classroom environment is playful, student-centered, and highly engaging. Grab your passports and travel with us all summer!

• While we strategically build a schedule that offers time for rest, we encourage families to ensure their child receives adequate sleep before coming to camp, and for those children still napping, then after camp would be a great time to settle down after an exciting day of exploration.
