Summer at CSB

Summer at CSB is our new PreK-8 co-educational immersive summer program that enriches students through a variety of engaging and academically-minded programs. This year, we will be offering five different summer camps with something to offer for students of every age and interest!

Our full-day camp, Brainworks, will be back again this year, providing students with both academic and physical enrichment. Our half-day camps include Pre-K Passports, a camp designed for 4 and 5 year olds; CSB City Explorers, a field-trip-based camp to teach students about the rich history of San Francisco; Kodely Coding Camp, a 4-week long half-day coding camp; and How to Thrive In Middle School, a week-long workshop for rising 4th and 5th graders to help them prepare for everything that comes with middle school.

Summer at CSB strives to create a welcoming and inclusive environment with our commitment to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to creating a community of people that feel safe in the way that they identify.

Brainworks at CSB is a summer program for boys and girls designed to inspire and enrich students through a variety of academically-minded classes and workshops. Our mission is to keep kids inspired academically by exposing them to new, challenging classes in a fun camp environment. Classes are co-educational and are designed for children entering the first through 8th grades. Most faculty and staff are current or former staff at Cathedral School for Boys.

Faculty for the summer program is primarily Cathedral School for Boys’ year-round educators. Teachers from other Bay Area independent, public, and parochial schools may also be included. Our staff is highly experienced and strives to create a fun, safe, and exciting learning environment for all students. Some classes will be assisted by Leaders-in-Training, a program for students in 6th grade through early high school. Faculty is subject to change without notice.

Students will get the opportunity to participate in not only an academic program, but also an athletic one. The second half of the day is dedicated to sports, getting outside, and socializing. Coached by CSB’s very own coaches and P.E. department campers will have fun while learning how to be part of a team, sportsmanship, and useful skills.
