Summer Camps
Camp CuriOdyssey:
The Superpower of Science
Camp CuriOdyssey provides youth with interactive experiences that spark excitement and ignite curiosity. Campers utilize their natural talents of inquiry, investigation, and individual discovery and develop lifelong critical thinking skills.
Our camp groups are small by design to ensure that campers enjoy personal, rich explorations of the world. Engaging camp leaders create an environment that empowers campers to question, examine, and imagine.
Join Camp CuriOdyssey to create a catapult, encounter live animals, explore the outdoors, or investigate the science of flight. Be part of the program that helps children acquire the tools to deeply understand the changing world.
CAMP CURIODYSSEY INFORMATION NIGHT
Wednesday, June 12, 2019; 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Come to our Camp CuriOdyssey Information Night and get more details about your camp, meet the camp staff, and experience some of the engaging camp activities! Information night is for the whole family.
Camp Themes
Each camp (Junior Keepers, Earth Explorers, etc.) is scaffold with a curriculum to engage kids in exploration of science/engineering phenomena. Within a camp theme, activities may repeat during the summer. Campers are encouraged to attend different themes.
Camp activities change from year to year! While we may repeat some favorite activities, a first grader who enjoyed Earth Explorers Camp last summer can enroll again as a second grader and have another distinctive camp experience.
Camp Grade Groupings
Our camps are designed to be developmentally appropriate for a grade group range to ensure that children get the most out of their camp experience. We group kids by grade for appropriate social/emotional development with their peers and cognitive development with the content. For this reason, we do not combine camp groups or place campers in groups outside of their grade. For summer camp the grouping is for the grade your child will be entering in the fall of the next school year. If you feel your camper has extenuating circumstances and would like to request an exception, please contact the Director of Education, Carl Oosterman.
Pre- and Post-Camp
Pre-camp care is provided for all camps from 8:30-9:00am. Post-camp care is available only for full-day camps from 4:00-5:00pm. CuriOdyssey's camp fee includes pre- and post-camp care.
Campers with Special Needs
Our educational philosophy and program design of being universally inclusive has proven successful with campers with varied learning abilities. Campers with ADD, ADHD, or mild autism have had wonderful success. This success comes from early planning and communication with the camper’s parent/guardian and camp staff. If your child has unique learning or behavioral needs, please contact us during early spring so we can discuss the needs of your camper and create an experience that is optimal for your child and all campers. If a camper requires the support of an aide in camp, arrangements must be made before May 15th. Call 650-340-7590 or contact the Director of Education. Only those aides authorized and cleared by the Director of Education are allowed to be in camp. CuriOdyssey is unable to provide personal aides, but welcomes collaborating with an aide provided by the camper’s family.
