Almaden Community Center

This week, our campers got a special visit from Katie and Butters the duck! ☀️ It was a wonderful opportunity for the campers to meet a real farm animal and learn all about Butters' journey. They enjoyed listening to a story, asking questions, and even getting to pet her. Thank you to Katie and Butters for surprising our camp and sharing Butters' story with us! 🦆

Don't let the soccer fun end! ⚽ Keep the excitement going with Skyhawks Soccer, where every day feels like you're playing for the World Cup—without the pressure of a must-win game!

Players will build confidence while developing essential sport skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and ball control. Along the way, they'll also strengthen important life skills such as communication, sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and respect.

Come learn, grow, make new friends, and have a blast on the field. Register today at www.sjregistration.com and keep the game going! 🌟

What a wonderful week at Camp San Jose Almaden! Campers enjoyed a reptile show from special guest Tracy from Furs Scales and Tails. We also enjoyed special guest Butters the Duck and the SJPD K-9 unit. Thank you to all the special guest for coming out to visit Almaden Community Center.

This week, we had a very special visit from our local park ranger, who taught our campers about how park rangers help keep our parks safe while protecting the wildlife we see outdoors. He brought different uniforms and gear to show the variety of jobs park rangers do each day, and the campers even got to try them on!

Our campers also had the chance to test out the water hose on the ranger's truck and beep the emergency horn used in the parks. It was such a fun and memorable experience! 🌿🦅

Miss Sonia, a Physician Assistant, visited our classroom to teach our campers about the importance of regular checkups and what to expect during a visit to the doctor's office. The campers enjoyed reading a kid-friendly book about what a Physician Assistant does and learned that going to the doctor doesn't have to be scary! 🩺

Miss Sonia also brought a stethoscope, giving each camper the opportunity to listen to their heartbeats.❤️Thank you, Miss Sonia, for taking the time to visit our classroom and teach the campers about the importance of staying healthy and taking care of their bodies.👏🏼
