Making learning fun is what a Delphi Summer is all about! Themes and workshops cover science, art and physical training appropriate for each age level. Field trips, art projects and special activities relate to the themes covered in the classroom. Workshops introduce new skills and lively team activities where kids can create, learn and explore with their friends.

Beginners (Our Youngest Students age 4-5)

All About Animals is our summer theme. We’ll learn about all different kinds of animals - what they look like, where they live, what they eat and how they survive. We’ll visit the Oakland Zoo, the Seymour Marine Center and the California Academy of Science to see animals firsthand. Look forward to animal art projects and animal stories!

Soccer Camp is our exciting summer sport. We’ll learn the rules of the game, build our skills with the ball and practice our teamwork! We’ll finish off with a big game where everyone’s a winner!

Forms 1 & 2 (Younger Students age 6-8)

Science and Nature make for an exciting summer theme. On the nature side, we’ll look at marine science, ecosystems and wildlife with trips to two different aquariums, the beach, tidepools, zoo and more! We’ll also explore our land and see native wildlife when we camp in the redwood forest, and see how our food grows when we visit ranches and farms where we can pick our own berries.

Hands-on seminars in class will relate to our travels and help us understand the world around. Fun arts and crafts projects on the same theme will bring out the creative side in all of us!

Summer is a great time to learn a team sport and build skills while getting physically fit. We’re going to focus on the most popular sport in the world - soccer!

Elementary & Middle School (Older Students age 8-13)

Junior Engineering - Putting Simple Machines to Work! Leonardo da Vinci made complex machines by combining simple machines together. This workshop allows campers to make their own simple machines with cranks, handles, gears and working parts. Piecing them together and adding some embellishments will turn them into moving works of art that campers can take home.

Digital Story-Telling - Campers will write their own stories and work together in groups to bring them to life in a digital format. They'll learn to storyboard and use computer programs to create and edit their story. A Delphi Premiere of all the digital creations finishes off this fun project.

Basketball Camp - Dribble and pass your way down the court and shoot for the basket! This sports clinic is appropriate for all skill levels and will help each camper improve their game.

Volleyball Camp - One of the perfect sports for summer, our Volleyball Camp will take place on our sand court and build skills through practice and play. Learn to bump, set, serve and maybe even spike!
