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
