IT'S SUMMER ENRICHMENT SEASON!
ROVER the Nature-School-Bus is on the move, turning heads and hearts toward the essential arts of creative self- expression, resource management, and environmental stewardship.
Each camp provides rich opportunities for hand-writing, hand-building, and hands-on learning in direct connection to the natural world. We also incorporate mindfulness, social-emotional skills, fundamental movement, and story-telling. We share, and reflect. We keep asking questions. And we drink plenty of water.
Camps run from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Tuition is $385 per week. Siblings are eligible for a 50% discount. If your family wants to participate and the cost of tuition is not accessible, please contact us to learn about scholarship and work-trade opportunities.

Join us at DUOMO GARDENS (located in the North Park/Normal Heights neighborhood of San Diego) for a week of delightful exploration into rhythm, words, plants, and worms! We've got plenty of drums and other instruments; kids are welcome to bring their favorite musical implements, too. In addition to creative writing and song-building time, there will be plenty of opportunities to share songs and stories on stage. We'll also learn about composting and soil biology, with an emphasis on the connection between health plants and healthy people! Students will have songs and seedlings to take home at the end of each day. Parents are welcome to join us on Friday for a showcase.
