BEGINNING DOG OBEDIENCE (DOGS 4 MONTHS +)

Family Members Age 11+ with Paige Tyson. Questions about class content? Call 209.532.6269 Beginning: In this class, your dog is taught to sit, down, stay, come, heel and easy (walking nicely at the end of the leash without pulling).

The dog is also taught to perform things and to willingly do or not do things, not just be prevented from doing them. Verbal and/or physical praise from owner is given. This builds a relationship between owner and dog. Any specific problems you are having will be addressed and cured in class or by a lifestyle change at home. You will need a 6 foot comfortable leash. Instructor will supply the nylon collar.

With a little bit of ingenuity you’ll construct catapults and forts, then lay siege to the castle. Assemble your own working light saber to take home!

While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration; this camp is 100% fun!

Age 5-12 Look out 007-the Mad Science Spy Academy is here! From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, campers have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and even create their own edible message! Step into the shoes of a detective as you uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis! Figure out the science of forensics in a hands-on look at crime scenes! Become a super spy and learn clever ways of performing tasks as we take a hands-on view of the science that spies use!

REACTIONS IN ACTION

Age 7-12 Whether your child loves to build things or destroy them, this week of camp includes lots of both! Junior Mad Science engineers design and build structures using simple tools and their imaginations.

Then the machine madness starts…children discover how different machines, simple and complex, are used in our daily lives! Kids design simple machines using pulleys, wedges, screws and levers and have fun learning how catapults work! We use the skills we’ve learned to build a Mad Science robot that we can keep, all while learning the science of robotics!

Age 5-12 Junior Mad Scientists dive into the realms of the Chemical and Physical world in this crazy week of non-stop action – and Reaction!

Kids explore our wonderlab and find eggs that don’t break, ice that doesn’t melt and discover how to freeze time! Our young chemists perform spectacular hands on experiments and continue the fun at home with the gadgets they’ve designed in the lab!

ECO-EXPORERS

Age 5-12 Young biologists explore the natural world and the adaptations that allow birds and beasts to thrive. Have fun finding and magnifying nature’s smallest creatures, engineer animal habitats, pour plaster casts of animal tracks, make recycled paper, and build a water filter!

Discover what owls eat and identify the bones they leave behind!

Create your own blob of “Mad Mucus” and learn about cilia, cells and circulation!

“FIZZ”-ICAL PHENOMENA & CHE-MYSTERY

NASA: JOURNEY INTO OUTER SPACE

Age 5-12 Take a walk on the wild side in this crazy week of sleuth science.

Have a ton of fun as we whip up potions and experiment with all kinds of chemical reactions, including growing our own crystals, making sidewalk chalk, and learning the science of chromatography on a Mad Science Lab Coat we get to keep!! Mix it up as we experiment with molecular madness, radical reactions and “fizz”ical and chemical reactions. Discover what those crazy chemists are really up to in their laboratories! Then use everything you’ve learned to solve the Mad Science Mystery; even Sherlock couldn’t figure this one out!

Ages 5-12 Mad Science and NASA have teamed up to bring you the excitement and wonder of space in this new voyage of discovery. See the principles of thrust and propulsion at work as we explore the atmosphere on earth and beyond! Watch star dust burn, and journey through a galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars.

Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this “mad” planetary tour. Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light as you learn about space phenomena. This is an experience that is truly out of this world!

LITTLE GREEN THUMBS

Age 4-6 Flowers and minds can’t blossom without STEMs. This camp is specially designed for inquisitive pre-K or Kinder-“Gardeners”. Kids discover how to paint with wind, build a bug model, start their own garden and learn what nature needs to make their plants grow!

Non-stop activities keep your little Mad Scientists engaged and focused! Kids give it two Green Thumbs up!!

It is your own robot to build and take home. Wow! It starts flashing and plays Do-Re-Me. Make it move the way you want it to move. It is so smart. It will move in its own routine if it does not get a signal in 1 minute. It will go to sleep if you do not issue any commands in 90 seconds. However, you can wake it up. Learn about the different gears and sensors as you build it. Get to build other robots working in groups. Join in our Sumo wrestling and obstacle course events with what you have built. See everything happening as you build. That’s the Sciensational way! No camp 7/3 10.300 M-Th 8:30am-12pm 6/29-7/2 $215/$205 Res Discount

Why are there no Sports Camps on Red Morton Park Fields?

As we put together our Summer Camp Guide, we anticipated that the replacement of the synthetic turf fields at Red Morton, with brand new turf, will be taking place from approximately mid-June through early September.

We apologize that we had to place camps at other City facilities other than Red Morton Park. We are incredibly thankful for our strong partnership with the Redwood Ciity School District, as most of our programs will move to local school fields. Have a great Summer!

JUNIOR GOLF CAMP

Age 5-14yrs with Emerald Hills Golf Staff Camp starts at 9:00 but you can drop off as early as 8:45!

Orientation will be on Monday at 9:00am, and this is an opportunity for us to get to know the campers and for the campers to learn camp rules and expectations and meet their counselors. Throughout the camp they will be taught the skills of putting, chipping, bunker shots, driving and midrange game. We will take them into our driving range where they will be able to fine tune their swings. We believe the best way for young golfers to learn is by allowing them to play on a real golf course, as opposed to just a driving range. At the same time we can also teach them golf etiquette which is very important to use on a golf course. Hot Lunch is served daily for all campers and snacks will be provided at aftercare.

Bring your own equipment or rent clubs at Emerald Hills Golf Course.

Any Questions please call or email Emerald Hills Golf Course at 650.368.7820 or emeraldhillsgolfcourse@gmail.com AFTER CARE 12:30-5PM: During this time, your child can continue to golf with an instructor, swim in the pool (Certified Lifeguards on Duty), or there are other relaxing golf games for them to play.

Developed by PGA professionals, SNAG is specifically designed for the entry-level player; SNAG simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easy and effective transition onto the golf course. No need to bring your own clubs--all equipment is provided.
