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.

Our son came home thrilled each day, bearing something artistic and scientific he had created. The inventiveness of the main project robot arm still amazes me. The instructors clearly love what they do and that excitement spreads to the kids. Maybe a few more exercise options would make this even better. If we lived closer, Chronos would undoubtably be our school of choice.

I appreciate the feedback! We're working on more active play that fits each theme. For example, this summer we'll do Olympic Games for Greeks, Geeks & Gods!
