  Bay Area Children's Theatre Performance-Based Theatre Classes

     The Bay Area Children's Theatre is the largest non-profit theatre for young audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area, serving 68,000 children and adults through its Main-Stage programs and theatre classes. Our performance-based classes give children special opportunities and experiences that can build their self-confidence, impart self-reliance, and prepare them for success in the adult world ahead. They learn that they can stand up in front of a group and give a speech or sing a song. They gain the skill to speak up and sing out. And, just as in the world of sports, they participate in defining and achieving goals as a member of a well-trained, well-prepared team. We emphasize teamwork and a focus on the ensemble in all our programs, for that is precisely what actors must do to win hearts and minds on stage. Our teachers challenge students to achieve their very best, based on their abilities. They set high and achievable standards for behavior and performance, and they always make classes fun! When kids are having fun they are happy and engaged. We build upon this base of fun and engagement to impart exciting new skills, encourage creativity, and help students learn and appreciate the art and craft of theatre. Finally, we communicate regularly with you through email, class handouts, and web updates to keep you up informed about the schedule, your student's progress, major milestones for each class, and ways that you can help!

  Slide Ranch is a nonprofit educational farm on coastal public parkland in West Marin. We host day visits and overnight visits from school and community groups of all ages (pre-k through adult), most typically on Tuesdays-Saturdays. Groups range in size from 6 to 60. Day visits typically occur from 10am-2pm, and include milking our goats, feeding our chickens, an activity in our garden and a cooking activity or a hike. Overnight visits include more involved versions of the same, and also include things like a campfire and/or night hike. Overnight visitors often bring their own camping gear, although we have some gear to lend to groups who need it. Overnight groups also bring their own food for all meals which they cook themselves (we have all the cooking and serving gear - just bring the food). All of our activities are NGSS aligned, and can be taught thematically to match the interests of the group (for example, we can offer themes focusing on "food, clothing and shelter;" natural ecology; food systems; sustainability; stewardship etc). There are costs associated with visiting Slide Ranch, however we offer a wide range of scholarships and work hard to ensure no groups are turned away for lack of funds.

  Camp Pillsbury is an exciting, safe, fun, coed overnight summer camp for kids ages 6-17.

     It is a unique sleep over camp in Minnesota that provides over 100 activities to choose from. No matter what each child's interests are, they are certain to find activities that not only fascinate them, but help build their character, self-esteem and confidence. Camp Pillsbury offers its campers the chance to fly on the trapeze, participate in musical theater, team sports (such as basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball), learn magic tricks, go horseback riding, tumble, dance, and play an instrument - all in the same day! Because each camper chooses the activities they participate in, they are spending their day with campers who share the same interests, helping form stronger bonds with new friends. The programs and classes we offer put an emphasis on activities that today's kids gravitate to. Camp Pillsbury offers Circus Arts, Rock Band, Musical Theater, Dance, Fine Arts and Crafts, Technology/Digital Arts & Multimedia, Team Sports, Individual Sports, Magic, Water Sports, Extreme Sports, Horseback Riding, Orchestra, Woodworking, Vocal Ensembles, Cheer, Gymnastics, Role Playing Games, Archery, Weightlifting, and much more. Our fully elective program allows campers to select all of their favorite activities and to also try new ones within our established daily schedule. Campers have the opportunity to develop existing skills and explore new interests. Every program and activity is open to all age groups and all skill levels where we meet each child's individual needs and respect their individuality. Our day is comprised of 6 one hour periods; three Majors and three Minors. Majors are taken at the same time each day with the same staff and campers and is an activity that each camper has chosen to learn more about, get better at and be in the end of session show or exhibition. Campers choose three Minors each day that they can try once or repeat as often as they like. This allows campers plenty of opportunity to try new activities they have never been exposed to before. Campers thrive, building on existing interests and developing new ones. They flourish and excel in the areas they become passionate about and self-confidence soars. They become better singers, dancers, actors, athletes, artists, musicians and even students. Camp Pillsbury is helping kids from all over the world be successful through programs led by experts in a unique camp environment. Our campers learn from the best to be the best. They also form friendships that last a lifetime. Campers sleep in dorms and will be provided with great food, fun and friends throughout the summer. (less) ... Read more
