On June 14th Site Managers David Alexander and Shamia Sandles kicked off our Summer Solstice program, a 6-week program which offered a balanced composition of arts, nutrition and service-based enrichment courses tailored to meet the developmental needs of participants. The program was held at George Peabody elementary and featured multifaceted learning themes, such as the Self, the Environment, Literacy, and Food (the staff called it "SELF" for short). Not only were students taken on Friday field trips every week to destinations such as Pier 39 and the Bay Area Discovery Museum, they enjoyed fun and engaging activities with staff and ongoing music courses with Susan Appe, RDASC resident artist-teacher. (4th grader Jasmine Olshin shows off her drumming skills in the above picture.) The Solstice Camp went out with a bang on July 23rd following a parent night which featured a student play on important first aide principles and a rock-and-roll performance of 'Eye of the Tiger'.
Please contact RDASC directors and staff to get a head start on information for next summer's camp!
