Aidan “Waffle” Sundstrom 

Aidan, the 2012 Foothills Day Camp 

Site Director, started attending Foothills 

Camp when he was 7 years 

old, and has returned every summer 

since then. He just graduated from 

UCSC with a BA in History and 

has been accepted in the Santa 

Clara University Teaching Credential 

program: 

“When I first started attending Foothills 

Camp as a camper, I remember 

my favorite things to do were singing on the bus (I still know 

every single song!), and just being outdoors, hiking around 

Foothills Park. As soon as I turned 13 (and could no longer 

attend camp as a camper) I was accepted into the Counselor 

in Training program for Foothills Camp, and a couple years 

later was hired as a Foothills Camp Counselor…I couldn’t 

stay away! 

I enjoy working with younger kids and that is the main 

reason I continue to come back year after year. Many of 

these kids don’t have a lot of opportunities to play outside 

during the year, so to be able to show them around Foothills 

and help develop that love of the great outdoors…it’s 

just very fulfilling.” 

Foothills Day Camp 

Celebrating 55 years of creating lifelong friends, long lasting 

memories, and a deep respect and love of nature, Foothills 

Day Camp is back for another incredible summer in the great 

outdoors. Campers will participate in weekly activities that 

revolve around interesting themes and include engaging outdoor 

games, exciting hikes, hands-on activities with wildlife, 

canoeing in Boronda lake, and more. NEW in 2013: Each session 

includes pre and post camp, which means you can drop 

your child off anytime between 7:30am-8:45am, and pick your 

child up anytime between 4-6pm. Additionally, campers will 

spend the second Thursday sleeping under a blanket of stars 

at Camp Towle for the ultimate “campout” experience. Night 

activities include a delicious BBQ, animated storytelling by our 

seasoned camp staff, a thrilling night hike, and memories for a 

lifetime. Campers should be dropped off by 8:45am at the Girl 

Scout House for the bus ride to Foothills Park daily. Visit our 

website for more detailed information, including what to pack 

for the overnight: www.cityofpaloalto.org/recreationcamps.

Summer Camps 19

Greg Betts 

Greg Betts, the current Community Services Department 

Director for the City of Palo Alto, recalls his time spent 

at Foothills Camp in the early 1960’s and how it has 

positively influenced his life, career, and love of nature: 

“My first year at Foothills Fun Camp was when I was five 

in the early 60’s. Being the youngest of four kids in my 

family, I remember how much fun it was to be outside 

all day long with kids my own age, playing games that 

we never experienced in school, learning campfire songs 

like “I saw a bear…,” and figuring out how to avoid bees, 

sunburn and thistles along the trail. 

Even after camp was through for the summer, I was so 

entranced with Foothills Park and the unique experiences 

in nature; it probably wasn’t any wonder that 

as I grew older my interests in college would gravitate 

towards degrees in Wildlife & Fisheries Biology and 

Animal Science. 

My thirty-some-odd years working with the City and serving 

the community has given me an enviable opportunity 

to ensure that the next generation of kids are able to 

enjoy the valuable experiences and recreational opportunities 

that I relished as a child. Every turn provides great 

opportunities to expand the educational, creative and 

interactive camps, classes and special events we offer for 

everyone in the community. 

And whenever I hear the camp bus returning to the 

Lucie Stern Center in the late afternoons of summer, 

I continue to sing along the refrains of those longcherished 

camp songs!” 

Foothills Fun Camp 

Celebrating 55 years of giving youth lifelong memories, 

friends, and a deep love of nature! Allow your child the 

opportunity to fall in love with the great outdoors at 

popular Foothills Park. In this historic, traditional day 

camp your child will play on miles of trails, woodlands, 

fields, streams, Boronda Lake, and enjoy spectacular 

views of the bay area. Wildlife abounds! This camp is 

filled with tradition and will include educational hikes, 

engaging games, silly songs, and crafty activities. NEW 

IN 2013: Each session includes pre and post camp, which 

means campers can be dropped off anytime between 

7:30-9:45am and picked up anytime between 3-6pm at 

the Girl Scout House. Visit our website for more detailed 

information: www.cityofpaloalto.org/recreationcamps.

Rinconada Preschool Swim 

Preschool Swim is a beginning to intermediate class for students 

who are 3-4 years. Water comfort and safety are emphasized in 

addition to the building blocks of swimming including coordinating 

arm and leg motion, blowing bubbles, floating and gradually 

submerged head and face. More advanced students will begin 

stroke technique and swimming independently. Skills covered 

in Preschool Swim overlap with material in Level 1 and 2. Those 

who advance from Preschool Swim may be eligible to skip Level 

1 and move directly to Level 2.
