Try Cal's teen leadership programs.  Both of my kids were CILTs and CITs through Cal camps, and it was a great experience for them

Our daughter has really enjoyed summers with the UC Berkeley Youth camps and Trackers Earth. 

Berkeley’s general activity camps allow you to rank activities at enrollment based on camper interests and some include swim lessons. My daughter loved meeting the Cal student counselors from all over the world. 

Trackers Earth has made some positive changes after a rocky period post-COVID closures. If you want outdoor time and nature-based activities, they are great. My daughter loved all the tracks she tried, so never could settle in one. She still plans her clothes and packs her daily bag based on their readiness training. 

We also recommend reading up on the East Bay Regional Parks camp options. They differ by location, but we’ve had good experiences in Contra Costa County locations and with Jr Lifeguard camp in Alameda.

Re: Yoga Classes

I recently took a beginning Yoga class thru CalFit, held at Hearst Gym. I found it to be just the right amount of challenge. The instructor (Ruth) was very good, and very understanding of different fitness levels. They have classes during the summer, too, including a new one called Gentle Yoga.
