The Danville Recreation Expo is celebrating its 11th year of exhibiting summer camps, and there’s no denying that Danville offers some of the best summer camps in the East Bay. The Rec Expo offers a variety of diverse choices ranging from sports, to science, to arts camps all in one place. It is the community’s rare opportunity to see and sample so many camps before committing to a program.
Parents get a face-to-face introduction to the instructors and staff, and children have the opportunity to try a Lego demonstration, make a magic potion, or read a script before deciding on the camp. This Expo truly has something for everybody. Mad science, Ballet classes, and KAOS camp, just to name a few of the many booths that will be on display.
Parents and kids alike lineup outside the doors of the community center, adjacent to the Danville library, as early as 9 AM, hoping to be the first inside to grab a complimentary tote bag and sign up for their favorite camps. Early registration has its benefits too. Parents receive a 10% discount off of every summer camp that they enroll their child in that weekend. This makes quite a financial impact for families with several children or parents that need to use multiple camps over the summer.
Ten year old Emma M. never misses the expo, “I like seeing all the new camps and all the demos you can try out.” And 12 year old Kate L. says, “I love the fun interactive activities, especially the STEM demos.” Doors open at 10 AM on Saturday, February 8.
Didn’t find what you were looking for? That’s no problem. Danville’s extensive activity guide is available at the Expo and online with an even bigger variety of choices to suit your needs.
