Science Adventure Camp
April 2004
Both of my kids loved the science adventure day camp when they
did it a few years ago (they're too old now). Their camp was in
Tilden park. They did a mix of science and outdoor type stuff,
and made something everyday related to the theme of the week
that they brought home. The group was fairly small, the ratio
good, and the teachers nice and energetic, mostly college
students, I think. I would recommend it.

I am interested in finding out more about this summer camp that happens
in Tilden Park. My son will be in first grade next year. Is this an
appropriate camp for a "science-minded" boy who also likes to run? Is there
adequate adult supervision? Thanks. Donna
The science adventure camp run by Alan Kaplan is small, very well-supervised,
with a nice balance of indoor and outdoor activities: nature walks, videos
with popcorn, examination of owl turds, amphibian "jeopardy " games, etc. I
think, though, it's for ages 8-11, not for first graders. Ellen
Science Adventures--
my son did this camp last year, after 2nd grade, and it was the only one of
his summer camps that he liked! Very well-organized and supervised. They
did many projects each day, but it didn't seem rushed.

My son David did a Science Adventures camp two summers ago
(before he entered K) in Tilden Park. He loved it (it was Space
and Rocketry) and the counselors seemed good to me. At the end of
the week they went to Walnut Creek to launch the rockets they had
made during the week, which was a blast, so to speak. :-)
This year he will try Fins and Fangs. He has a good friend who
has done these camps for two summers and also loves them.
