Summer Camps
We are excited to announce the return of summer camps to Summerfield Waldorf!
CANCELLED: Chinese Culture Camp for ages 11+
Sadly we have had to cancel Chinese Culture Camp. Feel free to contact camp director, Jun Kong (jun@summerfieldwaldorf.org, 916-821-4320) should you have any questions.
Instead of going to China, China is coming to you. Chinese Culture Camp at Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm is an opportunity for students and teenagers to get a taste of Mandarin, Chinese arts and culture, Chinese cooking while connecting with the natural world on a beautiful 38 acre farm and school in Sonoma County.
Activities include Chinese paper-cut, calligraphy, ink painting, games, poems, songs, stories, nature walks and making delicious organic lunch (noodles, buns, dumplings, mooncakes and other Dim Sums ).
Starting July 11th, there will be two one-week sessions of Chinese Culture Camp, ending July 22nd. Monday through Friday from 9am to 3pm at Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm in Santa Rosa..
Students may enroll in either session or both sessions. Cost is $475 per week with supplies and lunch included.
Jun joined Summerfield high school faculty in fall 2018 to teach Math and Chemistry along with electives in Chinese cooking and Chinese Calligraphy. Jun (pronounced “June”) taught science for 15 years in Chinese high schools before completing a Waldorf High School Teacher Training in Chengdu, China. Since then she has completed Early Childhood and Educational Support programs at Rudolf Steiner College. She taught for two years at Highland Hall Waldorf School in L.A. before coming to Summerfield.
Farm Camp, for ages 4 - 10
