From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, campers have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and even create their own edible message! Step into the shoes of a detective as you uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis! Figure out the science of forensics in a hands-on look at crime scenes! Become a super spy and learn clever ways of performing tasks as we take a hands-on view of the science that spies use!

WACKY ROBOTS & WIDGETS Age 7-12Whether your child loves to build things or destroy them, this week of camp includes lots of both! Junior Mad Science engineers design and build structures using simple tools and their imaginations. Then the machine madness starts…children discover how different machines, simple and complex, are used in our daily lives! Kids design simple machines using pulleys, wedges, screws and levers and have fun learning how catapults work! We use the skills we’ve learned to build a Mad Science robot that we can keep, all while learning the science of robotics!

Baseball & Softball CampsTURNER SPORTS: ALL BASEBALL ALL THE TIME (ABATT)Age 5-12A.B.A.T.T. instructors are trained in coaching youth sports and have rich baseball credentials. Instructors include young volunteers, high-school players, Division 1 college players, and even professional level baseball players.

ALL BASEBALL ALL THE TIME is a fantastic summer program dedicated to teaching kids about the game of baseball. We focus little on the results of players or games, but instead on the process of playing the game. Drills, scrimmages, and fun baseball related games happen daily. No camp will be able to match our ENTHUSIASM!

We care about the baseball related futures of campers, but more importantly concentrate on the positive experience that playing baseball can bring to a child including the following: Teamwork, Building Confidence, Discipline, Developing New Skills, Building New Friendships.

A.B.A.T.T. is unique because we accommodate first time players, as young as 5 years old, up to high school level players. We do this by focusing on the building blocks of Hitting, Fielding, Pitching, and Running with small groups according to skill level. In addition to the basics, we teach advanced aspects of the game if players are ready and willing. *Campers should bring lunch, bat, hat, and glove but there will be extra equipment if need be.

Why are there no Sports Camps on Red Morton Park Fields?

As we put together our Summer Camp Guide, we anticipated that the replacement of the synthetic turf fields at Red Morton, with brand new turf, will be taking place from approximately mid-June through early September. We apologize that we had to place camps at other City facilities other than Red Morton Park. We are incredibly thankful for our strong partnership with the Redwood Ciity School District, as most of our programs will move to local school fields. Have a great Summer!

JUNIOR GOLF CAMPAge 5-14yrswith Emerald Hills Golf StaffCamp starts at 9:00 but you can drop off as early as 8:45! Orientation will be on Monday at 9:00am, and this is an opportunity for us to get to know the campers and for the campers to learn camp rules and expectations and meet their counselors. Throughout the camp they will be taught the skills of putting, chipping, bunker shots, driving and midrange game. We will take them into our driving range where they will be able to fine tune their swings. We believe the best way for young golfers to learn is by allowing them to play on a real golf course, as opposed to just a driving range. At the same time we can also teach them golf etiquette which is very important to use on a golf course. Hot Lunch is served daily for all campers and snacks will be provided at aftercare. Bring your own equipment or rent clubs at Emerald Hills Golf Course.

Any Questions please call or email Emerald Hills Golf Course at 650.368.7820 or [email protected]

AFTER CARE 12:30-5PM:During this time, your child can continue to golf with an instructor, swim in the pool (Certified Lifeguards on Duty), or there are other relaxing golf games for them to play. Location: Emerald Hills Golf Course, 938 Wilmington Way Redwood City, California 94062

Golf CampsSKYHAWKS BEGINNING GOLFAge 5-9For more information, please visit www.skyhawks.comSkyhawks Golf focuses on building the confidence of young athletes by teaching proper technique to refine essential skills of the game. Golf is a challenging and lifelong sport, so young athletes need proper focus on the fundamentals of form, swinging, putting, and body positioning. To assist in this training, Skyhawks has adopted the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) system as its curriculum. SNAG utilizes a set of equipment designed for beginning golfers, including oversized plastic club heads and “mini tennis balls” to help build confidence and to have fun. Developed by PGA professionals, SNAG is specifically designed for the entry-level player; SNAG simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easy and effective transition onto the golf course. No need to bring your own clubs--all equipment is provided. Please apply sunscreen prior to arrival at camp. Also, please send snacks and adequate supplies of water. Only adults on approved check-out list will be permitted to pick up camper at the end of the day.FEE: $205 / $185 Resident Discount
