Our first weeks of Camp JCAS have been an absolute blast, filled with high-energy creating and discovery along the shores of Lake Merritt. Our younger makers have been diving deep into imaginative storytelling by crafting intricate, hand-made dioramas, while our older tech-creatives are exploring new dimensions in virtual world-building. Down in the woodshop, the tools are humming as our carpentry class gets fully going, giving kids hands-on experience building their own functional wood projects.
But don’t take our word for it—we’ve been chatting with our community, and you can check out several videos across our social media featuring some of our campers talking about exactly what they love most about JCAS summer camp!
