About
Summer Enrichment Workshops & Adventure Day Camp includes K–8 Enrichment Workshops, Preschool Enrichment Workshops, an Adventure Day Camp, and Extended Care. Workshop options include preschool activities such as creating artistic masterpieces, digging and building, socializing with friends, learning basics of phonics and math, and activities that enhance small and gross motor development and strengthen the ability to listen, observe, and follow directions. Additional offerings include language arts workshops for K–3 (Young Scholars, Writing and Illustration, Beyond the Basics Workshops), language arts for grades 4–5 and 6–8 that focus on the study of short stories and fairy tales and specific literary elements, 4–6 Math, and engineering and robotics for grades 5–8 where students design, build, and program robots using engineering, robotics, coding, math, and problem solving.
• Ages: 3–13 years old
• Schedule: A variety of two-week sessions with extended hours available from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
For K–3, language arts options include Young Scholars, Writing and Illustration, and Beyond the Basics Workshops. For grades 4–5, language arts workshops include the study of short stories and exploration of character development, plot prediction, foreshadowing, and point of view, with students applying these techniques to their own writing while reinforcing grammar, punctuation, organizational skills, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. For grades 6–8, language arts workshops explore short stories and fairy tales and analyze character development, plot prediction, personification, symbolism, foreshadowing, and point of view, with students applying these literary elements to their own writing and reinforcing organizational and critical thinking skills, grammar, and punctuation. The 5–8 Engineering & Robotics workshops focus on designing, building, and programming robots and include engineering, robotics, coding, math, and problem solving.
Students are taught by highly-skilled teachers in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, and the Alamo Preschool is guided by well-tenured early childhood educators. Extra-curricular options include Chess, Piano lessons, STEM/Science, Soccer, Debate, MATHCOUNTS, Math Olympiad, and Science Bowl. The program schedule includes Preschool from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M., K–4 from 8:25 A.M. to 3:15 P.M., and 5–8 from 8:25 A.M. to 3:30 P.M., with hot lunch available at the San Ramon campus. Summer Enrichment Workshops are offered for Preschool through 8, and the program provides a bridge to the upcoming school year for entering kindergarten through eighth-grade students.
The Dorris-Eaton School was founded in 1954 in Danville, California, by Doris Dorris and Virginia Eaton, and for over seventy years it has provided education to students of Contra Costa and Alameda counties. After nearly four decades in Walnut Creek, in 2015 Dorris-Eaton relocated and completely renovated its current K–8 facility in San Ramon. Mrs. Dorris' and Mrs. Eaton's founding tenet, excellence in education, remains the guiding principle of The Dorris-Eaton School. The Dorris-Eaton Preschool in Alamo and the K–8 campus in San Ramon are regionally and nationally recognized for excellence in education, and the San Ramon K–8 campus is continuously recognized as a top K–8 school in the Bay Area and beyond, offering an award-winning K–8 education. The Summer Enrichment Workshops & Adventure Day Camp is led by Director Jerry Ludden.
A third grade parent shared, “Being new to Dorris-Eaton, my son needed to hone his writing and grammar skills. We paired their summer language arts workshops with the Adventure Day Camp, both of which he loved. We immediately saw that he had caught up when school started in August. A great experience all around.”
