Orinda SUMMER Enrichment Program

Elementary Program 1st–5th Grade: A Run Through the Jungle

Rainforest Adventures

Youth Camps | Enrichment ProGram

Entering Grades K–5

Jim Bartleman, Program Director

Welcome to the Rainforest Adventures! Our program, taught by some of the finest teachers in Orinda’s school district, has featured a high quality summer enrichment experience for Orinda’s school children for almost three decades! Join us for Summer Enrichment 2014 as we take a ‘Run Through the Jungle’ to study one of the world’s most interesting and yet least understood places: the Rainforest! Even though they contain more than half of the world’s plants and animals, we are just beginning to explore and understand these amazing places that are home to amphibians, birds, insects, mammals, plants and reptiles that are truly astonishing—such as butterflies with an 8 inch wingspan, plants that build structures to water themselves (bromeliads) ants that cut leaves to build structures, unbelievably beautiful orchids, and fascinating versions of monkeys, song birds, cats, dolphins, frogs and snakes. Spend a busy summer with us as we make models of many of the above creatures and plants and learn the cultures of native peoples and those who live nearby. As always, we will build, paint, draw, cartoon, write about, craft, sing, dance, learn languages and math as we journey from high in the rainforest’s canopy, down through the understory, and then to the forest floor. Be wildly enriched on our expedition through one of the world’s most captivating places!

For those interested in staying for an afternoon sports program, we now offer a lunch transition ‘lunch bunch program’.

Location: Sleepy Hollow Elementary

Kindergarten Program: The Gentle Jungle A self-contained 3-hour class.

Our “Rain Forest/Jungle” theme gently takes us into a world of amazing animals and absolutely fascinating plant life not widely seen or appreciated, with lots of fun and study for our newest students! Jungle-themed activities in writing, math, science, beginning reading skills, music and art, and featuring very up close looks at butterflies, frogs, bugs, monkeys, birds and jungle-y plants! All woven together in a visual and performing arts style!

The vast new ‘jungle’ of the school world welcomes you!

Plein Air: Painting from Life Workshop

Watercolor Portrait Workshop

Ages 18Y and up Jeanette Le Grue

The goal of this workshop is for you to learn to SEE the abstract design essential for every good painting. Plan your painting and then paint your plan. Jeanette will show you how to simplify your painting to capture the essence of the subject. She is a gifted hands-on teacher. Through lectures, demos and individual daily critique, each student will grow in their abilities and discover their own strengths. You will be painting all prima, the direct approach: seeing the big shapes, and relationships of grays to color. You will learn the importance of observation rather than the use of formulas, and to paint what you actually see and feel.

Explore composition, design, value and color harmony, brushwork and edges. Jeanette Le Grue has studied with master painter Don Ricks (protégé to the Russian colorist Sergei Bongart). Jeanette shows her work nationally, in galleries and museums and has won numerous awards. No refunds will be given unless your spot can be filled.

Film Program with James Keller Ages 18Y and up

James Keller

Classic Movies for Kids of All Ages

From the beginning of movies, children have been part of them as well as part of the audience. Stories were developed for the wonder of young eyes such as Rin Tin Tin the first movie star dog who was as popular as Charlie Chaplin whose first full length film was THE KID in which a little boy got as much screen time as the Little Tramp. As movies began to talk many classics written for children such as TREASURE ISLAND, ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THE WIZARD OF OZ found larger audience throughout the whole world. This series represents the variety of movies for the family. MOVIES: National Velvet, Lassie Come Home, The Yearling, The Little Princess, Fly Away Home, Time Bandits, Indian in the Cupboard, The Black Stallion, Red Balloon and A Cat in Paris.

Location: Library, Auditorium
