Description: Summer at Delphi is full of FUN!
Young campers aged 4 - 11 come from around the Westside and even from abroad to spend their summer days at Delphi.
Campers are given a wide selection of activities from which to choose. While every summer is different, campers may learn how to build a solar-powered car, perform in a play, try a new sport or take care of an animal.
All campers go on day trips each week to a variety of fun locations around the Los Angeles area. They may go to the beach, the Long Beach aquarium, the Getty Museum or the Hollywood Bowl.
During morning study hours, campers get personalized attention from experienced and caring teachers. Camp is a great place for children to sharpen skills, advance in existing studies or explore new interests. Young students will also take advantage of our early reading program. In fact, many of our new campers will learn to read for the very first time!
In just one summer, a camper can conquer a subject they've been having difficulty with or explore new subjects of interest. Campers coming from overseas have plenty of opportunity to practice their English skills, too.

Orff, an international program that instills an early love of music, features tuned percussion like marimbas, drums and glockenspiels. Instrument building lets campers build a working instrument. There's choices: instrument lessons (try piano, flute, trumpet, guitar and many more!), dance, singing, music theater, guest artists and a grand finale performance.
