Email info@golestanKids.com!
At Golestan, where the only language spoken is Persian/Farsi, our goal is to teach each child the following qualities: Integrity, curiosity, altruism, dignity, generosity, compassion, confidence, kindness, and community
This summer, our camp will continue to teach these values in full language immersion with fun activities that will feed their minds, bodies and souls.
Camp begins the week of 6/21 and runs every week through 8/27, except August 2-6, when Golestan is closed. Each week will follow a specific theme, beginning with a broadest view, the Universe, and ending with the microscopic world.
Weekly units:
- Week 1 (June 21): The universe
- Week 2 (June 28): The natural world – the history of Earth
- Week 3 (July 6): Ecology
- Week 4 (July 12): Humanity
- Week 5 (July 19): Community
- Week 6 (July 26): Culture – the meaning and celebration of cultures
- Week 7 (Aug 9): The animal world
- Week 8 (Aug 16): The insect world
- Week 9 (Aug 23): The microscopic world
Each of these units will include:
- Curiosity - nature exploration (entire days in the forest, weekly)
- Confidence - physical activity (including building a super adobe play house and soccer)
- Generosity - crafts (knitting, toy making)
- Kindness - music (traditional folkloric Iranian songs)
- Community - art (individual and collaborative projects)
- Compassion - movement (dance, yoga)
- Dignity - performing arts (theater and puppetry)
