Coronado SAFE invites incoming 7th and 8th grade girls to participate in the Sophia Camp for Girls and start the new school year with a sound mind, body and spirit. This female-only local day camp will take place Friday, August 17th through Sunday, August 19th and is specifically designed to provide young ladies with the tools and training they need to navigate their most transformational years. This weekend escape will help young women build self-esteem, manage stress, identify with others, and develop a strong sense of self-awareness through activities such as yoga, art, dance, meditation, and breathing and concentration exercises.

 

The Sophia Camp for Girls is led, sponsored and hosted by Laura Plumb—a local Ayurvedic counselor and founder of VedaWise and Sophia Circles. Registration is $175 per participant before June 1, and $225 after. Spaces are extremely limited and camp scholarships will be available to families who demonstrate a financial need.

Coronado Children's Library Needs Your Metal Coffee Cans

 

"Thanks for the Candles. We've got a real headstart on the candles we recycle to use for our summer candle craft.  Thanks to everyone who brought in their used candles. 

There is something else we need that is very hard to find these days, coffee cans.  We use the cans to melt the wax and the ones we've been using for years are wearing out.  I know most coffee comes in plastic these days, but if you spot a coffee can, a peanut can or any other large metal can please snag it for the library."

Junior Rangers At Silver Strand State Beach On Saturdays

 

Kids—seven to twelve—are invited to these outdoor activities which include walks, presentations, games, investigations, art and more! We meet each Saturday at 3:30pm. Kids can earn awards like pins, posters, and patches as they progress through the activities. We ask that a parent or guardian fill out a sign-up form for their children and remain in the park while their kids participate, in case of any emergency. Meet outside the lifeguard headquarters; just look for the tall tower on the ocean side of the highway. For more information, contact Heather Sanderson at hsanderson@parks.ca.gov or 619.823.5801.
