ABOUT SEES THE DAY SUMMER PROGRAM

A Classroom Without Walls

Sees the Day is a value based learning program for children ages 6-11 years old. Sees the Day is committed to instilling in children a respect and appreciation for each other and the natural world. Building connections, individual character, personal awareness, and self confidence through theme based activities and ethical dialogues will be the primary focus of each weekly session. 

 

One element that makes Sees the Day so rewarding is the warm atmosphere and compact size of the program!  Guest Educators and performers, storytelling, ecoliteracy, nature awareness, indigenous Ohlone history, fairy houses, fort building, imaginative play, lake hikes, beading, community service, gratitude circles, self esteem games, theater and improvisation, music, laughter, and fun will create a dynamic experience for all!  

 

Educators know that something remarkable happens when children venture outdoors. When they have opportunities to engage in outdoor education, children develop an understanding of their environment and often become its champions and stewards. They discover that being in the outdoors opens up a whole new world that extends far beyond the “media ecosystem” they find indoors.  Most importantly, they take delight in simple moments of observation and wonder.  It is those moments that rekindle their connection with the natural world.
