Overview

Student-Teacher Ratio 6:1

Uncover secret operations and encrypt secret messages of your own. Double cross a double agent to double the fun in this cloak & dagger theme.

Engineering: Create a cryptex to lock up valuable secrets, and make a parabolic mic for long distance listening.

ReCreation: Compete in a walkie talkie obstacle course, use a compass to find a hidden cache & sleuth whodunnit! Decipher a secret code & encode your own.

Tech Lab: You don't need a warrant to bug your friends with little sneaky bug bots. Craft a circuit & wear it! Write a secret message in invisible ink.

Art Exploration: Explore modern art & architecture: Warhol's Campbell soup cans and Frank Lloyd Wright's Civic Center.

About Maker Camp

Maker Camp, sponsored by MAKE magazine, is a summer camp with a focus on using science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) to create, build, and discover. Golden Gate Learning Center integrates history & culture to bring those projects to life. Every day Maker Campers learn about Makers of the past while becoming the Makers of the future.  Campers (entering K-6th grade) rotate by age group every day to all four Maker Camp components: Engineering, Tech Lab, Art Exploration & ReCreation. Whether it's with wires, gears or glue, we help them Make connections they didn't know existed. We keep a comfortable 8:1 camper-to-staff ratio so these makers have all the help they need to succeed.

Math Club (optional during After Care)
Monday-Thursday 3:30-4:30, every week of Maker Camp

Students hone math skills through games, hands-on activities & art and earn stars for each.  They can use their own summer curriculum and do math at home to earn extra stars, then cash in for prizes at the Star Store at the end of the week.  They'll return to school with confidence & and new perspective on the story of math.

My son goes to Maker Camp every summer and it is by far the highlight of his vacation. Celeste and Daniel are the most loving, accepting and caring individuals I know. Daniel and my son formed a special bond, and my son looks up to him so much. He really knows how to connect with these kids on their level and they know exactly what makes these kids tick. I am only sad that he is aging out of this camp next year!

We loved the Chronos Maker comps! Our son did the music and noise camp and it was such a great experience that we signed him up for another.
The teachers were all wonderful and all of the hands on projects were amazing. Thank you Celeste! Sonny loved it!

My kids, ages 6 and 10, got very into the camp. They especially got into the engineering activity where they make a radio. My youngest is already planning for next year!
