Galaxy Robotics is a interactive, hands-on program, that teaches the process of building and programming a complex robot. The program encourages innovation and creativity, using the VEX design system. Students may register for individual weeks, but students enrolling for consecutive weeks will benefit most as each week utilizes the skill learned in the prior week.

Summer is coming and it’s time to get ready for camp! Park’n It Day Camp features an action-packed schedule of outdoor recreation in our beautiful East Bay Regional Parks. Under the care of our Recreation Leaders, your child will learn about our park ecology, play games, make art projects, go fishing, hiking, and swimming, and enjoy field trips to other parks. All field trip transportation is provided through the East Bay Regional Park District’s “Parks Express” program on contracted school busses.

Park’n It Day Camp is part of the Healthy Parks/Healthy People initiative. We believe that when kids engage in active outdoor recreation in parks, they will mature into healthy eco-literate citizens. We’re also a proud adopter of the California Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights promoting healthy activities in the great outdoors.
