Camp Carondelet

As a school community, Carondelet priorities safety for everyone who spends time at our two campuses. Similar to our 2020 Camp Carondelet Sessions and our successful regular school year transition to hybrid learning, we will be working closely with Contra Costa County Health (CCHS) to ensure we are consistently informed on and implementing the necessary advised protocols for the safety of our campers, their families, and our camp staff.

Once an official health directive for local Summer 2021 camps has been issued, we will further communicate our specific plans of implementation to all registered families.

Afternoons at Camp Carondelet have been created to have less structure and more free play. Campers will participate in three rotational activities starting with Outdoor Field & Recreation at our Concord Campus and then will be transported to our Athletics Complex via shuttle for Water Games and Art/Creative Expression activities. Similar to mornings, campers will be placed in age-appropriate groups and activities will vary from session to session.

Do you love all things science and technology with an occasional side of fun formulas to keep you on your toes? Great STEM Creations is the perfect summer camp activity for children of all ages to build their creative pathways through experiments and innovative projects that can be recreated for years to come.

Escape Room Adventures - Grades 3-8

Enter at your own risk and be granted access to exit only when the combination is right! Escape Room Adventures provides campers the chance to work in small groups or solo to search for hidden clues, puzzles, and other secretive gems that can be used to set them free from different spaces throughout our Concord campus each day before the clock runs out.

Note: This activity will be designed to ensure all forthcoming safety guidelines outlined by Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) are implemented and observed for 2021 summer camps.

Offered: Session 1 & 3

Café Carondelet - Grades 3-8

At Café Carondelet, we only have one rule: You make it, you bake it, you eat it. Campers will have the chance to whip up tasty (individualized) treats & quick bites that they can pose for a selfie with and then enjoy! All Café Carondelet activities will be tailored to include socially distanced prep stations, single-use, individual utensils for each camper, and will be led and supervised by a skilled adult activity leader. 

Note: Camp Carondelet is a nut-free & allergy-conscious environment and all basic recipes will be planned accordingly. Due to ongoing COVID safety restrictions, no sharing or sampling of food between campers will be allowed with no exceptions.

Offered: Session 2 & 4

At this time, until further advised by Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS), we are continuing with our 2020 lunch model where students are permitted to bring their own bagged lunch and snacks each day. If these plans are amended and we can offer lunch services, all registered families will be informed in writing with more information. 

Additionally, we will be working closely with the county to explore opportunities for offering Early Care & After Care. If these services become available to offer, registered families will be notified about pricing and how to register.
