On August 7, 2023, Camp Achieve and the Ahlsten Foundation arranged a field trip for students attending summer camps in different locations throughout the city of Richmond, California. 162 students and 51 adults from the following locations visited the San Francisco Exploratorium:
· Shields Reid Community Center
· Booker T. Anderson Community Center
· Parchester Elementary School
· Nevin Avenue Elementary School
Students and their chaperones spent the day exploring a variety of activities the museum had to offer. Through the interactive exhibits, students were exposed and introduced to a wide range of learning topics including Art, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Data, Earth Science, Engineering, Environmental Science, History, Physics and Social Science, all while having fun and meeting new friends.
Camp Achieve is a 9-week summer camp program that provides academic support to students between 6 and 12 years old in the Richmond Unified School District, providing a safe place for kids to develop their academic skills during the summer months. This program is a major collaboration between WCCUSD, the Ed Fund, & the Recreation Dept. of the City of Richmond.
