Summer Break

Math Club, A Summer to Remember!

This group is designed for elementary school students from 2nd grade and higher (ages 7-13) and meets twice a week over the summer break to help children retain what they have learned at school.  We'll keep our math skills fresh through a combination of individualized practice exercises, games, and creative challenges! 

Disclaimer: Participants may accidentally pick up math skills above their grade level — if children want to learn, there is no stopping them!

Schedule: Every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30pm to 5:00pm,  June 3rd–26th, July 22th – August 7th, 7 weeks total. 

Lafayette Public Library's Arts and Science Discovery Center
3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette, CA 94549.

Tuition: $80/week or $500 for the summer season (7 weeks).

Camps

Day camps are one week each, Monday to Friday, 9am-1pm.  

Lafayette Public Library's Arts and Science Discovery Center
3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette, CA 94549.

Physics! Intro to Static Systems

For kids of ages 8-13:  Let's get physical!  Throw carp around and lift cars!  W00t!

Oh, seriously, we'll enjoy some hands-on fun while exploring fundamentals of Force, Mass, Gravity, Friction, Pressure, Ramps, Pulleys, and flex our mathly brain muscles to take total MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE of the world.  Muahahhaa!

Disclaimer:  Yes, we will have some pedagogical stuff thrown in for good measure, such as data collection, pre-algebra, and data analysis. But worry not, we'll keep it [mostly] age appropriate.

And no, we don't actually throw fish around!  That's reserved for the Dynamics class.

Schedule of sessions:

• July 14 – 18, 9am to 1pm

• July 21 – 25, 9am to 1pm

Tuition: $600 for one 5-day session

Early drop off is available for an additional fee $15/30 min.

Note: This is an expanded version of our after-school Spring 2025 program.  We are going to revisit the same topics, but go a little deeper and will have more time for fun hands-on activities!  If your child participated in the after-school group,  they are welcome to join this camp, or they can jump straight to our level two Dynamics camp!

Physics! Intro to Dynamic Systems

For kids of ages 8-13:  You couldn't get enough of our static systems?  Or did you already know it all?

Let's get moving with our second level camp to dive deeper with Acceleration, Momentum, Inertia, Buoyancy, and Density.  We'll see what really floats your boat and how far the fish flies!

Another disclaimer:  Yes, we will have more mathly + data analysis activities here too, and perhaps include some ethical discussions such as the ramifications of replacing the balls in a Newton's cradle with classmates or instructors.

Schedule of sessions:

• July 28 – August 1, 9am to 1pm

Tuition: $600 for one 5-day session

Early drop off is available for an additional fee $15/30 min.
