Summer camp program for 4 year-old
Hi all,
We're looking for a quality summer camp program and/or activity for our 4 year-old boy, preferably in Berkeley though open to Albany/Oakland.
Any recommendations? I've been homeschooling him for the past 7 months along with two other children. We're only now starting to extend - or, hoping to extend our bubble. Also wondering if adding a dozen other kids all of a sudden will potentially overwhelm him?
Thanks for your suggestions!
Best,
Brett

You didn't get any replies to your question so I thought I'd let you know that there are few summer programs for preschoolers because a childcare license is required if there are children are under 5 on the site. For this reason, virtually none of the local summer camps accept children younger than kindergarten age. A few preschools offer summer camps if their spots are not filled by students who attend the school. But there has been a scarcity during Covid because of the restrictions on enrollment, and a number of preschools and daycares have also closed permanently. Your best bet might be to organize a share with other parents. You can post to Parent Connections on the BPN website.
