up in a story that you wish you could dive right into 

the pages? Everyday at this camp we will jump right into a story 

to eat, play, and do all things pertaining to that book! We will roll 

out the red carpet as we enjoy a morning at the Rugrats Children’s 

Musical. 

Hooray for Holidays Ever feel like the best parts 

of the year are the holidays? Each day we will celebrate a new holiday 

complete with crafts, decorations, food, and friends! No party 

would be complete without a trip to Pump It Up.

Robotics Engineering 

Robotics brings together the various technological fields necessary 

in today’s world. While building robots, kids not only accumulate 

skills in engineering, computer science, and physics, they also learn 

valuable leadership and project management skills. Children participating 

in our Robotics workshops are guided through a handson 

experience, where they learn to build robots using the LEGO 

Mindstorms Construction System 2.0. With gears, pulleys, beams, 

axles, and many more building elements, kids learn to create mechanical 

masterpieces. When kids add sensors, motors, and a Robotic 

Command Explorer (RCX), their masterpiece responds to 

their command and its environment. Students will work in teams 

throughout the course. No prior experience in programming is 

necessary. Material Fee: $35 (Due on the first day of the camp) 

Instructor: VisionTech Staff.

build and program their robot from scratch. Students participating 

in our Robotics camps are guided through a hands-on experience, 

where they learn to build robots using the LEGO NXT Robotics 

System. Campers will learn to build structurally sound robots and 

design multiple robots. They will learn the use of different sensors 

and will learn to incorporate them in their robots. They will write 

multiple programs for their robots in order to complete challenges. 

Throughout the week campers will engage in friendly challenges on 

the earlier FLL boards. Kids will be split in age appropriate groups. 

No prior experience in programming is necessary. At the end of 

the camp kids take home all the pictures and tournament video on 

a CD. Material Fee: $35 (Due on the first day of the camp) 

Instructor: VisionTech Staff. 

2D Video Game Design 

For the 2D video Game Design camp campers will be using Multimedia 

Fusion 2.00(MMF) to design and create a realistic looking 

game. In this camp students will learn to create their own multi 

level game and understand how the game design process works, 

complete with characters, levels, health counters, and lives. Students 

will learn not only to build a technically superior game, but to 

build a game complete with a storyline, a plot, and excellent visuals 

and sounds. All students will work individually on their game and 

on their own laptops. Students will also take their game home 

on a CD, and will receive instructions on how to download the 

demo version of the software so they can continue working on 

their game when they get home. Material Fee: $55 (Due on the 

first day of the camp)

Essay Made Easy: Successful 

Writing 

Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to write with confidence and 

get the grade you know you deserve? Putting ideas on paper can 

be challenging, but it’s certainly not impossible. In fact, it can even 

be fun once you master the basic steps. This 10 hour intensive 

writing course will teach students how to write solid essays in a 

small group setting. With no more than 10 students per class, each 

student will get the one-on-one attention needed. Students will 

learn to understand writing prompts, brainstorm for ideas, organize 

their thoughts, create a structure, execute their writing, and 

proofread for precision. Students will also learn more about word 

choice, supporting details, and audience awareness through writing 

prompts that are fun and age appropriate. Now that the SAT’s, 

CAHSEE, and STAR tests all require students to write essays, it’s 

time to build a foundation and write with success.

Rowing (crew) is enjoying huge popularity as a competitive sport 

for high-school-age boys and girls. The Los Gatos Rowing Club 

(LGRC) at beautiful Lexington Reservoir offers a junior program 

that is one of the most successful on the west coast. In LGRC’s 

week-long summer camps, boys and girls will be introduced to

shell (boat). Teamwork, different methods of training, and on-thewater 

rowing are emphasized. Athletes are encouraged to attend 

for multiple weeks. For safety, participants must be able to swim 

(a swim waiver is required). Rowing is a physically demanding 

sport – attendees should be energetic and bring a positive attitude. 

This camp is a great way to find out if rowing might be a good 

fit as a competitive sport in high school. The competitive rowing 

teams, which start in early September, are comprised of students 

from many of the area’s public and private high schools. The fee for 

the camp is $300 per week. A daily lunch is included. For more

The los gatos high school community aquatic center 

All swim programs are held at the Los Gatos High School Community Aquatic Center. All lessons are Monday-Friday in two-week sessions. 

Ten lessons, 30 minutes in length. YOU MAY ENROLL IN ONLY ONE SESSION AT A TIME. THIS WILL HELP REDUCE THE NUMBER 

OF TRANSFERS NEEDED AT THE START OF EACH SESSION AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF KNOWING IF YOUR CHILD IS READY 

FOR THE NEXT LEVEL. On the last two days (Thursday & Friday) of each two week sequence of classes, registration for the next session 

will take place at the LGHSCAC from 9:45 AM -12:45 PM and 4:00 PM-6:45 PM. No registration will be taken at the LGS Recreation 

office on these last two days of the session. Once a session has started only the Aquatic Supervisor may accept new registration. This may be 

done at the pool site. Classes not meeting minimum enrollments will be cancelled or combined with another class. Additional classes may be 

scheduled based upon community requests, instructor availability and pool space. NO CLASSES ON MONDAY, JULY 5th.

it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentallyappropriate 

early childhood music curriculum which strongly emphasizes 

and facilitates adult involvement. Music Together classes 

are based on the recognition that all children are musical and 

therefore ALL children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and 

participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided 

that their early environment supports such learning. 

Mixed Ages: This is the essential Music Together class, one that 

a child can attend from birth through age six through all nine 

song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of 

child development researchers - grouping children of a variety of 

Music Together 

Music Together® is an internationally recognized early childhood 

music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, 

and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, 



ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. 

Each child participates at his or her own level 

in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or 

exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers - parents, 

grandparents, nanny - can bring the children. 

The whole family is welcome for this important family 

music experience. 

Masters: If you have a child who is between the 

ages of 3-6 who has attended several semesters of 

Music Together, he or she may be ready for this MT 

Masters Class. Bring your child for the same outstanding 

music with some different kinds of activities 

- rhythm improvisation, independent singing, 

dance improvisation, and dramatic play. Please note: 

Because they’re so used to trying to keep up with 

their big sisters and brothers, younger siblings are 

welcome to enroll in the Masters Class too! 

b DISCOVERY 

Babies: Every child’s development benefits from 

early exposure to music and movement. Because 

the early months are so important, Music Together 

offers two options for babies. Babies eight months 

and younger at the time of registration may attend a 

Mixed Ages Class, whether registered on their own 

or attending free with an older brother or sister. Babies 

may also take the special Babies Class offered 

as a one-semester introduction to Music Together. 

(This class cannot be repeated.) The music activities 

and materials are specially designed for parents 

who want to learn as much as possible about music 

development in babies. Meet other parents of newborns 

and learn some fascinating music activities 

you can recreate at home with your baby.

Estate Planning, 

An Introduction 

What would happen to your family and your assets (all property 

which you own, in your own name or as a co-owner, such as your 

bank account, real estate, stocks and bonds, life insurance, furniture, 

furnishings and jewelry) if you were to die today? No one 

wants to dwell on such things, but if you have the courage to address 

this issue, you will be giving a tremendous gift to the loved 

ones you leave behind. Topics will range from how to transfer 

property out of probate, to what you can do to help a non-financially 

savvy spouse and more. Fee is per couple. 

Instructor: Barbara Nesbet is an Estate Planning Attorney 

Estate Planning, 

When Someone Dies 

We hope we have planned for it, but death happens, too often 

sooner than we would expect it, and catches us by surprise. We 

will talk about retitling accounts, clearing title to real property and 

transferring motor vehicles. We will talk about the differences between 

dying with a fully funded trust, a properly executed will, 

and dying without any written estate plan in place. We will address 

some of the important first steps to take in the administration of 

a trust or probate estate. We will also talk about some of the steps 

you can take to avoid some of the potential pitfalls of having no 

plan in place. Fee is per couple.

Salsa Rueda - Beg, 

Continuing, Try it Night 

Salsa Rueda is a unique form of salsa that began in Cuba in the 

1950’s, and became popular in Miami in the 1970’s and 1980’s, 

and is now popular all over the world. Rueda dancing is done in 

the “wheel”, as a group, with the “followers” being passed in the 

wheel, rapid exchanging of partners, with moves all done in time 

to “hot” Salsa music. Each move, or “call”, has a name, and is called 

by a leader of the Rueda. Fee is per person, come single or with a 

partner. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring yourself, friends and 

neighbors to a free “Try It Out” night on Wednesday, June 23 

from 8-9:15PM. NO CLASS: 8/25. 

Instructor: Samy Makar introduced Salsa Rueda to the folkdance 

world at the Statewide Conference of The Folk Dance Federation of 

California in 2006. He has taught classes at Stanford, Mission College 

and at the Cubberley Pavilion.

Studies and teaches Outdoor Education courses at California State University Monterey Bay. His expertise and humor will 

ensure that you have an interesting and informative day out in the wilds of California! Trip Information sheet including directions

about these trips, please contact Greg Meyer: greg@ge-trips.com or call him at 831-345-1973. Light rain will not cancel trips. 

Berry Creek Falls Hike- 

Intermediate Hikers 

Big Basin is California’s first State Park and it was protected to 

preserve the immense, old growth redwoods there. It is now the 

largest park in the Santa Cruz Mountains and it is still a rugged, 

wild land. This strenuous hike will start at the coast and climb into 

the basin to the impressive Berry Creek Falls. Along the way, we 

will talk about the history of logging in the Santa Cruz Mountains, 

identify trailside plants and look for amphibians in the creeks. After 

a lunch break, we will hike back down through the forest and 

out to the coast. This trip is generally flat on a wide trail but the 

last section to the falls is narrow with steep sections. We will walk 

about 11 miles round-trip; this hike is most appropriate for intermediate 

hikers that have some experience traveling long distances 

far from people and other facilities. We will meet at the mouth of 

Waddell canyon on Highway One. This is right near the Santa 

Cruz/San Mateo county line, about 32 miles south of Highway 

92 in Half Moon Bay and about 18 miles north of Santa Cruz. 

We will meet across the street from the Waddell Beach parking 

lot, by the large metal gate on the east side of the highway. You 

can park on the east side of the Highway or in the beach lot. 

Watch for speeding traffic on Highway 1. 

Monterey Bay Whale Cruise 

The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is a year-round location 

to watch marine mammals. Summer is the best season to 

see the greatest variety of whales and other mammals with less 

chance of rough seas. We will be looking for sea otters, seals, sea 

lions, whales, dolphins and thousands of seabirds! Leaving from 

Monterey, our four to five hour trip will start along Cannery Row 

were we watch otters and sea lions. From there we will head 5 - 

15 miles offshore to look for feeding humpback and blue whales, 

which are regular visitors to the central coast during summer. We 

will also search the deep waters of the Monterey Bay Submarine 

Canyon for smaller cetaceans such as dolphins, porpoise and even 

killer whales. Participants 12+ may register with a registered adult. 

Information Meeting: Thursday, Aug. 26, Santa Clara Community 

Center, 969 Kiely Blvd., 7:00-9:00PM. A $40 per person boat 

fee is payable at the evening meeting to cover the cost of chartering 

the 50 feet boat. Trip: Sunday, Aug. 29, 8:30AM - 1:30PM 

Sunset K ayak At 

Elkhorn Slough 

Elkhorn Slough is one of California’s largest remaining coastal wetlands 

and is home to thousands of birds and numerous harbor seals 

and sea otters. This protected salt marsh is covered with unusual 

plants and graced with scenic, quiet waterways. We will spend an 

afternoon exploring this seven-mile long slough, getting a unique 

look at the preserve NATURE and then stop for dinner TRIPS 

on the beach. Afterwards, 

we will paddle home at sunset with the tide at our back. This 

trip is a great introduction to kayaking and no experience is necessary. 

We will be using stable, double sea kayaks equipped with rudders 

and comfortable seat backs. Students 12+ may sign up with a 

guardian. A Kayak Equipment materials fee of $50 per person for 

boat rental, safety equipment and paddling gear is payable to Greg 

Meyer, cash or check, on the day of the trip. 

Waddell Creek 

Wildflowers Hike 

Waddell Creek flows off the western slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains 

into a broad valley that empties onto the coast. Lined with a 

stately streamside forest, this section of Big Basin State Park makes 

for an excellent hike along nearly flat terrain looking for spring 

wildflowers. In addition to the wonderful vegetation, animal life 

is rich here also. We’ll look for mammal tracks, watch for migrating 

birds and search the creek for amphibians like the uncommon 

giant salamander and the beautiful California newt. Join us for a 

brilliant spring day hiking amidst the flowers of the central coast.
