     Looking for a way to turn Sacramento into a giant game board? Urban Adventure Quest has created an interactive scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the Amazing Race with a three-hour sightseeing tour of Sacramento. Guided from any smart phone, groups make their way among well-known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history.

  Living Jazz Children's Project -

     A free weekly music and dance education and performance program for under-resourced Bay Area public elementary schools. The Living Jazz Children’s Project (LJCP) provides jazz rooted performing arts education. The Living Jazz Children’s Project now provides performing arts education to over 1,500 students in 14 public schools. Students in LJCP rhythm classes learn about each other’s cultural backgrounds and demonstrate unity and respect for one another in their class and onstage. Our teaching artists instruct in their respective specialties which have included: Body Music, Hambone, Afro Cuban percussion, Puerto Rican Bomba/Xica, South African percussion, and/or Hip Hop rhythm and rhyme. Students learn how music can be a tool for cultural empowerment and social change. At the end of the term, they perform songs at Oakland’s only nondenominational musical tribute to Dr. King, In the Name Of Love. This event honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and features the best talent that the Bay Area has to offer. LJCP students have the opportunity of a lifetime performing alongside these greats. Our current dance faculty specialize in forms that are integral to the roots and branches of jazz music traditions. Depending on their instructor, students will learn Afro Cuban or Afro Brazilian folkloric and social dances, or Turf dancing, the prized Bay Area-grown discipline of Hip Hop dance. (less) ...

  Kids Swim Lessons -

     At Menlo Park Swim School, we believe it’s never too early or too late to start learning to swim. That’s why we offer swim lessons for children of all ages. Our Instructors go through multiple weeks of training so that they can gain experience with every age and skill level. Each Instructor comes from different swim backgrounds and varying skill levels, making each one unique so that everyone can find the right fit. For our youngest swimmers, our Water Babies classes focus on water acclimation with a parent or caretaker in the water. We work on building water confidence and introduce basic water skills in a safe and nurturing environment. We use songs and activities to help babies and parents bond while introducing this important life-saving skill. For children 3 years old and up, we offer classes for all skill levels starting at Level 1, where we teach basic fundamentals such as kicking and floating, through Level 4, where students will graduate out of swim school knowing Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly.

  Slide Ranch is a nonprofit educational farm on coastal public parkland in West Marin. We host day visits and overnight visits from school and community groups of all ages (pre-k through adult), most typically on Tuesdays-Saturdays. Groups range in size from 6 to 60. Day visits typically occur from 10am-2pm, and include milking our goats, feeding our chickens, an activity in our garden and a cooking activity or a hike. Overnight visits include more involved versions of the same, and also include things like a campfire and/or night hike. Overnight visitors often bring their own camping gear, although we have some gear to lend to groups who need it. Overnight groups also bring their own food for all meals which they cook themselves (we have all the cooking and serving gear - just bring the food). All of our activities are NGSS aligned, and can be taught thematically to match the interests of the group (for example, we can offer themes focusing on "food, clothing and shelter;" natural ecology; food systems; sustainability; stewardship etc). There are costs associated with visiting Slide Ranch, however we offer a wide range of scholarships and work hard to ensure no groups are turned away for lack of funds.

  Chores made easy.... That's a great idea!! Kids want to be responsible; they want to have a purpose and independence, but somehow us parents made it ok for them to forget those very same values we were raised with. If there were a way to create a craving in children to do their chores, wouldn't you want to experience that for yourself? It's like a snowball that starts out as an awkward shy kid that gets nudged down the mountain. One cycle at a time getting bigger, stronger, and gaining momentum to make smart choices, and take care of themselves because they've learned just how great that feels, for themselves. We're not saying our apps are magic, but from day one the goal has been the same. Help families work together. Help kids find energy in being responsible and taking control in productive ways. They need it... The world is really complicated these days but there's nothing more precious than raising kids and having a young family. I know I personally miss those days. Kids are growing up in a time and space that we have yet to truly understand but one thing is certain, technology has a grip on every generation these days so we should learn to embrace, and how best to use it. Download the app for free. Give it a try and if you don't love it just let us know why and we'll fix it. (less) ... Read more
