Join us on Thursday, August 29, from 6-8 p.m. for an enlightening evening with our Resident Artist, Oscar Romo, as he leads a dynamic panel discussion titled DISCOVER! The Promise Zone. This event will focus on crucial notions of sustainability, featuring insights from Oscar and other renowned experts. Together, they will delve into pressing issues affecting the Promise Zone residents and brainstorm innovative opportunities for a sustainable future. The panelists will explore sustainability through the lens of four foundational domains, each integral to comprehensive sustainability knowledge, values, and practices: Interconnection within Nature: Understanding the intricate web of relationships that sustain our ecosystems. Environmental and Human Health: Examining the vital link between a healthy planet and the well-being of its inhabitants. Equity and Social Justice: Advocating for fair and inclusive solutions that uplift all community members. Movement Building and the Economy: Exploring how collective action and economic strategies can drive sustainable change.

Dr. Matthew Desmond, renowned Princeton sociologist and MacArthur “Genius,” has made understanding the causes of poverty his life’s work. He was catapulted into the national spotlight as a leading authority on modern American poverty when his Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City,” made its debut in 2016. His work has been supported by the Gates, Horowitz, Ford, JBP, MacArthur, and National Science, Russell Sage, and W.T. Grant Foundations, as well as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. In his latest book, “Poverty, by America,” Desmond puts forth a guide to eradicating American poverty. Join us on Thursday, December 14 for a discussion with Desmond on the solutions to poverty he posits in his new book, released earlier this year. This discussion is part of the Helen Edison Lecture Series by the UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies. The series presents free public lectures on issues that advance humanitarian purposes and objectives. Program Agenda 6:30 P.M. – Refreshments & Book Sales 7-8:30 P.M. – Presentation with Charles Blow

Taught by a variety of skilled educators and professional artists, your preschool age child will go on seasonal explorations celebrating the magic of Winter, observing and learning about various things in nature in our on-site organic garden. They will explore through sensory activities, crafts and stories while developing fine motor skills. Campers will make season-themed crafts in various mediums–clay, wood and textiles. Littles learn best by doing and playing. We practice handwork and workplay. We “play” with natural objects and materials such as wood, stones, clay, felt, paper + more! Each project is planned so that children build skills while satisfying their need to explore. Projects are safe, non-toxic, earth friendly, and full of creativity. It’s important that your child bring water in a refillable bottle and a snack (no candy or peanut products please) in case they are hungry or thirsty during this time. In addition, if your child is enrolled in a nearby camp elsewhere in Liberty Station in the afternoon, and their camp begins as ours ends, we are happy to walk your child to their next camp. If you’d like your camper to stay during the lunch hour, there’s a $20 fee for the week to cover the lunchtime gap. They can bring a lunch and have lunch with us with the option to do a fun craft after lunch. Click here to add lunch supervision from 12-1pm. • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Military and sibling discounts: Email us for more information.
