Syrendell summer camp 2016

You're gonna want to be a kid again!

Praise for Syrendell Summer Camp

"My sons love the Syrendell summer camps!  Dr. and Mrs. Tan are educators and creative people who  bring to bear a wide range of experiences and talents on the classes and camps they lead. With experience in the public school system, Waldorf education, and homeschooling, they have experienced many complementary approaches to teaching that they combine in a unique and effective way. They foster a nurturing and creative atmosphere in their camps that seeks to engage each child holistically. Integrating movement and calm, music and cooking, arts and crafts, and indoor and outdoor activities into each day. In addition to their knack for organizing a well-balanced camp, the Tans assemble an excellent team of assistants who carry through the Syrendell vision. As a parent, I appreciate the combination of calm and enthusiasm that my children display at the end of each day and each camp with Syrendell."                                                                                  - Dr. James Housefield and Family

Welcome to Syrendell Summer Camp 


​Syrendell Summer Camp is a burst of creative goodness on two sunny summer weeks in Davis, CA! The camp features our best offerings in handwork and woodwork combined with food preparation, music, singing, art, movement, and playtime. The students receive high quality instruction of introductory handwork and woodwork skills, and partake in the preparation of healthy snacks and lunches. Add to that a sweet serving of music, movement, and art and the children become immersed in summer fun and imagination. The children also gain positive interpersonal social skills as they are supervised and guided in their interactions with each other and with the camp instructors.

​Syrendell Summer Camp offers children a hands-on experience of nature's arts and crafts, music, and cooking that promotes creativity, gratitude, and graciousness. Enroll your child today for a summer enrichment program unlike any other - Syrendell Summer Camp.
