Over the past few months, the instructors at Society of Young Inklings have devised, written and rehearsed an original production to perform for the community. Yes, Nora! A Stage to Page Production is the result of their creative efforts. The show follows Nora as she embarks on a creative journey, faces off with a dragon and learns to unleash the power of her story.
Families are welcome to attend the show and silent auction on February 5 at 7:00 pm at the Portola Valley Theatre Conservatory: 945 Portola Road, Portola Valley. All proceeds will support SYI's new partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of America.

If you're looking for a fun and local summer camp, check out Mountain Camp Woodside!
This is a traditional camp that offers both a Day Camp (for grades K - 10th) and sleep-away Resident Camp (for grades 2nd - 10th) programs. Mountain Camp Woodside's minimal technology, non-competitive program is designed to build confidence and independence, encourage friendships and healthy lifestyle choices. We offer activities like mountain biking, arts & crafts, soccer, swimming, archery and outdoor survival. In today's hectic, high-tech world, we believe a back-to-basics approach to outdoor recreation and plain ol' fashion "fun" is critical to building a child's positive self-image. A quality summer camp experience will provide education, challenge, achievement and acceptance. Mountain Camp Woodside's unique atmosphere allows children to learn in a fun and safe environment that encourages independence while nurturing lasting friendships. From campfire songs and skits to the first time away from home, the camp experience can have a profound impact on a child's development. Mountain Camp Woodside camp sessions are one-week long and run throughout June, July and August. Many campers enroll for multiple weeks or even the entire summer!

Kids Game Summer Programming Camps in Portola Valley

Kids Game Programming Camps in PV  Programming Java with Minecraft Two sessions: 6/20 - 6/25 and 6/27 - 7/1 Now in their fifth season, these camps are a great way for kids who love games to learn programming. We use real programming with a real programming language - Java - on a real world server that your child will setup and configure. Kids enjoy seeing the immediate results of their learnings and are highly motivated to understand the capabilities and techniques of Java. The camp also draws on their imaginative abilities, creating new Minecraft mods that they've dreamed up but never thought they could actually build, like an arena generator or spawn an Ender Dragon or a TNT block that explodes when the timer reaches zero! At the end of the camp, your child will have learned: - How to setup and use their own Minecraft server - How to install customized mods to their server using Spigot - How to setup a software development environment - How to build a mod using Java - Programming basics - Java basics All camps are run here in Portola Valley by the Youstra brothers, students at Woodside Priory and Corte Madera. To learn more about the camps and register for one of the sessions, click one of the links below: For the next two weeks, PVSD families can use discount code PTO to get $50 off their registration.
