Pia doesn’t limit herself when it comes to materials and techniques. She experiments with painting watercolors on canvas as well as paper. Many of her paintings are developed with a limited palette of the three primaries: red, yellow and blue.

Others have their beginnings with an abstract under painting. Because she loves to draw and paint the world around her, her subjects are animals, people, places and still life. She often quotes Degas: “Art is not what you see, it’s what you make others see.”

Fog, a wooded path, trees, mountains, a swirling sky... What do these have in common, besides being found in nature? These are some of the images Vicki creates in her art as she grapples with themes of movement, growth, change

PARK-A-MONTH VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

There are a variety of ways to get involved in our parks and programs through volunteering. Youth Sports volunteer coaches, Adopt-A-Green Space, Rural Cemetery maintenance and programs, Luther Burbank Home & Gardens and working with seniors are just a few examples. We love our volunteers!

These family-friendly workdays help beautify our parks, historic sites and recreation centers through tasks such as litter pickup, spreading mulch, cleaning, pruning, invasive species removal, weeding and more. We provide tools and light refreshments.

Students: Need Service Hours? Our Community Events and Park-A-Month workdays are excellent ways to earn community service hours.

YO U T H Drama

ENSEMBLE THEATER – PO’S KUNG FU DREAM (Age 7-14) 7 Dates Inspired by the popular animated film ‘Kung Fu Panda’, this humorous play tells the story of how a young Chinese noodle seller became a great warrior and saved his village. This production is an abbreviated version of the original story, using human characters rather than animal characters.

The adventure-filled story’s profound message is to find our special purpose in life and to believe in ourselves, and the focus will be on the relationships between the characters and not on staging combat sequences (no martial arts skills required).

Older children will need to memorize more lines and carry the storyline while younger children have more class time to play acting games and appear in smaller roles in the final performance. All costumes and set materials are provided.

GURUS EDUCATION PERSONAL FINANCE/BANKING AND INVESTMENTS (Age 10-16) 8 Dates

Instructor: Guru Education staff are highly experienced in Public Speaking & teaching with educational backgrounds in English, Theater Arts, Communication Studies and Literature.

Middle school is an excellent time to start learning about money management which helps in creating a foundation for students to become financially independent in their lives later. Since there are no courses about financial literacy in our K-12 curriculum, and it is a very important skill to have, students must seek supplement education. Our personal finance series is the solution. This course teaches the different types of vehicles in which they can invest their money to grow. They learn the risks and returns involved in each of the types of investments, as well as understand the strategies to use before selecting any method. Is Certificate of Deposit or the Stock market the way to go? These are questions students will know how to answer! Students play a fun and practical stock market game throughout the course to understand the risks of investments.

Empowerment through personal finance builds a secure future. Start early!

UCP OF THE NORTH BAY PRESENTS: CAMP KAOS 2017! (Age 6-17)

Day Camp Questions & Answers for Camp Yu-Chi, Doyle Adventure Camp and Camp Wa-Tam What is the supervision ratio?

Each group of 15 to 17 campers is supervised by one counselor, one counselor aide and 2-3 CIT’s (counselors-in-training).

What is the age range of your staff?

Generally, our counselors are college age students and our counselor aides are high school age.

Does your staff receive training?

Will my child be with kids his/her own age?

Can my child be grouped with a friend?

In order for requests to be considered, BOTH campers must request each other at the time of registration. Groups are divided by age, so please be sure that the friends requesting one another are of similar age (by one year).

Only requests made prior to the first day of camp will be considered.

Do I need to park my car and get out to check my child in each day?

Yes, for the safety of the children it is important that parents/guardians check the child in and out with the counselor in person. Finding a parking space may take a few minutes so please plan to arrive early and remain patient until you find a designated parking space.
