At The Dorris - Easton School
San Ramon
Our summer camp program at the San Ramon location closely parallels Adventure Day Camp other traditional program in Moraga, CA. We offer a traditional summer camp experience that includes exposure to a wide variety of mostly outdoor, recreational activities including sports, horseback riding, boating, swimming, archery, art, music, climbing, hiking, and much more.
Most activities are offered in a small group setting with campers of similar ages. As the session progresses, campers have the opportunity to choose their activities while still maintaining that important connection to their group and their Camp Counselor.
The Dorris-Eaton school provides us with fantastic facilities including field space, playgrounds, several multi-purpose rooms, and
ball courts.
During the months of July and August, Adventure Day Camp at Dorris-Eaton offers an afternoon only option for those campers that are participating in the Dorris -Eaton Enrichment Program. Campers are escorted to their classes from our morning Extended Care (INCLUDED IN YOUR TUITION), then met after class to be reunited with their camp groups. Main activities included Horsemanship, Boating, Swimming, Archery, Skateboarding, and Biking are offered during our afternoon program. Campers will have a blast enjoying an afternoon of exciting camp activities and bonding time with their friends and Camp Counselor.
SPORT & GAMES
Our main goal for all of the sports and games activities is to have fun. We promote participation from everyone and instill the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship throughout. We teach basic skills in all activities and work towards understanding of how each activity is played.

Horseback Riding & Exploring Nature
Horseback riding is certainly a camper favorite here at ADC! Campers entering 3rd - 9th grade will be offered Horseback Riding once a session. Campers entering PreK - 2nd grade will experience our amazing Miniature Horses when they visit the MAGICAL Angels For Minis Farm in Walnut Creek. Lessons are taught as a basic introduction to Horseback Riding and no experience is necessary. We love our campers to experience the wonder and beauty of the outdoors.

Some weeks campers will have additional swim days added to their schedule. All swimming is fully supervised by Red Cross Certified Lifeguards and our Camp Counselors are positioned in and around the pools for additional supervision.
In addition to visiting the pool, we have a lively Water Play area which consist of water balloon, sprinklers, water blasters, and a giant blow up water slide.
