An Endless Summer of Fun

KINDERGARTENKid Quest “A Passport around the World”

Who says you can’t travel the world in a summer? They must be the same people who thought the earth was flat? In an explorative extravaganza kindergartners will be given pilot’s wings and speedboat steam to cruise the Antarctic, climb the Great Wall of China, safari in South Africa, meet some gorillas in Uganda, adventure in Argentina, then touch the pyramids in Egypt, spinning the globe with tiny fingertips and sifting sand through sun kissed hands; what was once a summer of plastic pools and sunscreen dreams will now become a cultural stew of learning made fun with awe-inspiring scenery certain to stimulate and stun. At the start of our journey each child will be given a learning passport. Worldwide navigation begins at one of the local elementary school and as they traverse trails they will also sightsee through the lens of mathematics, reading, creativity, communications, family, geography, nature, and music. This sightseeing tour will guarantee a vacation voyage that only legends are made of, and at the end of the expedition there will be no goodbyes. Instead, say Hello, Jambo, Hola and even Konichiwa. Say Bonjour to the world and Adios to summer boredom blues.

FOURTH & FIFTH GRADESCAMP 45 “Bridges Adventure Camp—Teaching and Reaching New Heights”

A bridge brings structural possibilities turning concrete, metal, and stone into beauty. A bridge builder makes artful design using a masterful, magnificent, and limitless mind. Culver City’s “Bridges Adventure Camp” will be both the bridge and bridge makers for 4th and 5th graders. As they make the transition into middle school, self-awareness and autonomy is sure to be their will. A bridge is the perfect symbol for their newfound independence. A bridge is strong, weather ready, and capable of carrying one the distance. There will be field trips of fun matched with team building in the sun. Some time to movie watch, cook and skate, and even time left over to talk and create. We also make it a point to bike and ride, but most importantly campers will gain that

confident stride. From the beaches to the mountains and the bridges in between, arcades and amusement parks are bound to be on the scene. Like the architects of our past who built the bridges of today thank goodness camp 45 is only a summer break away.
