Spring Break Camps

Looking for something to do for your child during February winter break? The Bay Area Discovery Museum still has a few openings for their Shipwrecked Camp, February 17–19 from 9 am–3 pm. Have your child age 4–8 spend three exhilarating days living the life of a sailor in this exciting camp. Experience the delights and hardships of a sea-faring life; make maps, sing chanteys, dig for artifacts and treasures from mysterious lands, and discover weird sea creatures. Taught by expert museum staff, this will be a fun way to beat the winter doldrums. The price for the 3-day camp is $305 members, $330 general. Space is limited to 12 children. Extended Care available from 8-9 am; 3–4 pm; 4-5 pm at an additional $25 per child per hour. Enroll in all three hours of extended care for $65. Contact BADM at (415) 339-3900. To register online, go to their website or email questions to Heather Posner at hposner@badm.org.

It’s time again to start thinking about activities for your children during spring break. Sausalito’s Bay Area Discovery Museum is offering Discovery Days Spring Camps 2009 with two sessions, April 6–10 and April 13–17, for children ages 4–8. This year, camp themes include “Tree Frog Treks” and “Creature Features”.

The Discovery Days Spring Camps will offer hands-on science and art activities in a fun and safe environment. Activities include nature walks, birding expeditions, water experiments, ceramics projects, painting workshops, architecture and building activities, and more. Each day will include structured age-appropriate activities, time for supervised free exploration of museum exhibits, and breaks for snacks and lunch.

I can’t believe next month is already spring break for the schools! read more »
