I need M-F full time care 8 am p. Our Berkeley Public School offers summer school BEARS program , but only for low income families -- If I had more than one kid, we might qualify, but with an only child, we are not eligible. I'm also open to Saturday or Sunday morning lessons of an hour or two per week. Any of those camps would help with following directions, reading directions, and sequencing of actions. Although it isn't quite as direct, your son will learn and build academic skills in a fun way.
Then you could supplement this with some tutoring in the fall if it is needed. I am looking for an all-day 8 a. For a 9-year-old, preference in the East Bay. Any suggestions? It's an excellent, three week, accelerated academic program. Definitely worth checking out. Last year my 9 year old son took an anatomy class. They dissected fresh eyeballs and other animal organs provided by a local butcher.
Under the Academic heading, here were the choices that fit your criteria:. Contra Costa College for Kids have a great summer program. This year there will be only one session offered in July because of budget cuts. My 7 years old daughter will be attending. Good selections of classes to choose from. They are very professional and always promptly response to my email questions. Contact them at: collegeforkids [at] contracosta. My 8 year old son he'll be a third grader in the fall could use a day camp with an academic focus for a least a few weeks this summer.
I checked into Head-Royce's program but it is already full for his age group; he did Academic All Stars last summer and it was a so-so experience nice people, but academic portion pretty weak and inconsistent. Thanks-- -Kristen. The application deadline just passed, but it's possible that not all the classes for his age are full.
It's the last 3 weeks of July. I am looking for an academic summer camp for a student starting 6th grade next fall. Something like the Head- Royce program which offers middle school transition courses would be ideal but it is only offered one session when the student is not available.
We are particularly interested in building organizational, reading and writing skills. Thank you. Our daughter is younger but loved the class she took last year. They have to apply, get recs. I need a challenge for my son this summer. He is ''gifted'' and is not challenged at all in the Albany school; he's in 4th grade at Oceanview.
He works ahead in the ''Challenge'' program, as they refer to it. But I want ''him'' to be with other children like himself and challenged by other children's minds and thinking for once. I would like him be in a community with other children like himself. What about this summer ? Does anyone have any good experiences with gifted summer programs around the bay area?
Their number is Most programs are overnight, but there are day-camps too usually am - 7pm, and some programs have shorter day options ish. Experienced, enthusiastic local teachers teach different classes. Good luck. Loves math, construction toys, crosswords and puzzles. Nothing too pricey please - trying to balance cost we are living on one pretty small income right now with enrichment.
Mom in N. My son had a wonderful experience with the summer camp at the Academy , around the corner from Willard Park in Berkeley. The morning consists of an academic program. Incoming 3rd and 4th graders will be taught by an author of childrens' books and popular but occasional subsitute teacher at the Academy , Doug Evans.
My son took the program for entering 5th and 6th graders, half of which was taught by a math teacher, the other half by the English teacher. Both programs were very structured and paced according to the skills level of the individual child. Both teachers were great. You pay for extras, but the basic childcare of hanging around the yard is also good. The after-care staff who work year-round have been with the school, one for 20 years, the other for about One of them is an older man who helps kids with basketball.
You are charged only for as much after care as you actually use, though you get a better price if you pay for it in advance. But you'll be refunded whatever portion you don't use.
My athletic kid had more fun there than he did at Golden Bear, which he went to the previous summer. Firstly, I was able to earn college-level credits by taking two courses in six weeks. Secondly, the caliber of professors and of the cohort is fantastic. The program threw me out of my comfort zone and compelled me to think with rigor, grow and stretch intellectually, to draw on the diverse skills and experience of my classmates, and to discover a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Moreover, I learned how to balance all my extracurricular commitments with academics and my social life. Balance is something that is sorely lacking in today's highly motivated and driven society, and I am thankful that my experiences at UC Berkeley have really shown me how to find and hold on to this equilibrium. Well-rounded people are the ones who really make a difference in society, and are the types of person that Berkeley is looking for.
