Shakespeare and Circus and Sewing, Oh My! There's more to camp than campfires & canoes
The bay area of California is rich with educational and cultural places to go and things to learn. If you want your kids to have a meaningful and unique experience, this may be just the place for you. Take a half-day, a week or take a whole season.
They can create a single piece of artwork or create and stage an entire musical at the end of the camp. There are adult camps, classes and workshops among them. This list is dynamic with items added and subtracted all the time.
Some are for families, such as the Valentine's Day Heart Dissection at the Exploratorium. Many may be of assistance in helping to choose a (new) career path. Not that it's a natural prerequisite for camp get you ready for work (!), but I never did have kayaking on any of my job descriptions. I did it at some of my summer camps.
Usually when you hear someone's off to camp, you might think it's the swimming, hiking and marshmallows around the campfire-type camp. Or you might think of a sports- or recreation-centered camp. We may be used to hearing someone say, 'I'm off to hockey camp, basketball camp, even weight-loss camp.'
Traditional camps are beneficial in a lot of ways. With obesity at an all-time high, getting out there in the fresh air and moving, particularly while socializing and learning to be part of a team, is terrific. Some of the camps here, such as the circus camps, require a lot of physical activity, too. They're not that different from your traditional camp. There are a lot of drama and theater camps in the area. I may not be listing all of them.
I'll be adding information to this lens on camps, workshops and classes as it becomes available so please stop back often. Information in individual camp descriptions may be somewhat outdated. Please refer to the camps and their web sites for all the good stuff.
Not meant to be a comprehensive list of classes and workshops in the bay area.

Meatballs, Bill Murray
Decades before he was winning accolades for his work in Lost in Translation and Rushmore, Bill Murray was making moviegoers snicker with his breakthrough comedy Meatballs. This film--which was released theatrically in 1979--stars a 29-year-old Murray as a horny camp counselor named Tripper Harrison, who is just barely more mature than the kids he's looking after.
Tripper seems like a screw up because he is, but the audience sees soon enough that he has that proverbial heart of gold, which is offset by an acerbic tongue. Looking over one of the unhappy children in his charge, Tripper says, "You must be the short, depressed kid we ordered."
Camp North Star isn't the type of destination kids dream about during the school year. As envisioned by director Ivan Reitman (who would again collaborate with Murray in Ghostbusters), it's a place where kids do their time until their parents let them return home. But in his own way, Tripper makes it a fun place for the kids to learn about the opposite sex and get a feeling for competition.
Unlike Little Darlings, the coming-of-age camping film starring Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal that was released a year later, there really isn't a strong moral to this film. But there is a sense that thanks to Tripper's unorthodox madness, he makes Camp North Star a place that kids want to return to the following year. While not as self-assured as he would be in a smaller role in 1980's Caddyshack, Murray is highly likeable here as an overgrown doof.
On the DVD
In the special edition version of this DVD, the extra features include some insight into Murray, who is somewhat elusive about committing to film projects. Reitman reveals that he actually wasn't sure Murray (who wasn't a big name back then) was on board for Meatballs until he showed up for filming the first week. Interestingly enough, this comedy originally was supposed to focus its attention on several camp counselors, but Murray was so good in his role that the plot was adjusted to focus primarily on Tripper. Also included is a three-part "making of" featurette that includes insight into casting, the use of real campers because they didn't have enough money to pay for extras, and interviews with some of the cast members. --Jae-Ha Kim, Amazon
