How summer went
A full summer of camp across our BACR, YMCA and HUSD sites: cooking, robotics, field games and something made to take home at the end of every week.
Read our summer stories
Camps run with 120+ schools and districts
Public districts, independent schools and the community partners who run out of school time across the Bay Area.
More than somewhere to park a day off
A day of camp with Digital Dreamers looks like this:
Doors open early and close late, so a day off school still covers a working one. Snacks, supervision and sign-out included.
Each week builds to something a camper takes home or shows off, rather than a run of unrelated activities.
Field games and trips out before the weather turns, with indoor builds and making for the days it already has.
Cleared, trained staff who stay with the group, so campers are known by name within a day.
