Have fun getting ready for kindergarten! This two-week day camp is specifically designed for children entering kindergarten in the fall. Children will take part in age-appropriate camp activities within a small group. Priority enrollment will be given to children entering Gateway’s kindergarten. We will also have groups of kindergarten children enrolled in our day camp all summer long, and you are welcome to combine the two programs! Taught by Sarojani Rohan.

Experience life on a real working farm! Mornings will be spent planting, harvesting, caring for chickens, collecting and boxing eggs, or running a farm stand. Afternoons are less structured, with time to explore the creek, look for crayfish, play with the goats, pick berries, and more. Transportation will be provided to the Everett Family Farm in Soquel and back to the Gateway campus. Students should pack a lunch for this all-day camp.
