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.

I highly recommend it! We love Maker Camp! Celeste, Daniel and their staff are creative, intelligent and hands-on. This is our third year and our kids always look forward to it. Lots of unique projects that are well thought out and fun to do.

Maker Camp at Chronos Academy is my kids favorite camp each year. The organizers and teachers always over deliver in creativity, skill, and fun! I cannot recommend this camp enough but make sure you check in late winter/early spring for sign-ups because they fill up quickly.
