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 TK-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 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.
