Summer at Delphi is full of FUN!
Campers are given a wide selection of activities from which to choose. While every
summer is different, campers may learn how to rock climb, build their own robot,
try a new team sport or take care of an animal.
Each summer features weekly field trips, weekly swimming or water play, special
camping trips, sporting events and artistic activities.
All campers go on day trips each week to a variety of fun locations around the Bay
Area. They may go to the beach, the San Mateo County Fair, the Monterey Bay aquarium
or the Oakland Zoo. Older students may enjoy themselves at a waterslide park, go
horseback riding or bounce for an afternoon at Sky High trampoline center.
