Summer Central at Sonoma State University

Registration is now open for the Summer Central youth camp program held at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park.

Summer Central provides Middle School and Junior High aged youth (ages 11-14) with opportunities to build a strong foundation in a variety of skills that will enhance their personal growth.

Each session covers aspects of leadership, communication skills, global awareness, health, compassion, and personal development through a carefully planned series of activities including hands-on personal leadership exercises, sports and recreation, and community service. The program?s combination of structured activities, personal reflection, facilitated group discussion, and play is designed to keep participants stimulated and engaged.

Participants take a role in group decision-making such as where field trips will be held and which community service projects to work on. The program runs for five two-week sessions, June 17 - August 23. Summer Central?s hours are Monday through Friday ,10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Extended supervision, 6:45 ?10 a.m. and 4:45 ? 6:15 p.m., is also available. There is no program on July 4. The cost is $260 per 2-week session. The maximum enrollment per session will be 24 participants.

Summer Central is held on the campus of Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, at the intersection of Petaluma Hill Rd. and East Cotati Ave. For more information or for a registration packet, please contact the Sonoma Student Union by calling (707) 664-2382, by e-mailing rec.sports@sonoma.edu, or on the Web at www.sonoma.edu/recsports.
