Website for Camp Edventure More: www.edventuremore.com/

Edventuremore opened a camp in Alameda this year at Bay Farm Elementary School. (http://www.edventuremore.com/summer_camp/index.htm) It's a nice mix of science, art, and recreation for K-6 that goes beyond the usual. It has a small kid:counselor ratio (8:1). The director send a daily newsletter that described the day as well as what's on tap for the next day; he's also available by email. This week the older kids made gack, a crystal garden, a planet scene, and will be smashing stuff on Smash Day. More important, they take kids' requests seriously. When my daughter announced she had a new first name, staff took it in stride, including changing her name tag. Kids are encouraged to try new things, but if they don't want to, that's ok, too. Betsy
