Disney for All Ages Recap

Bibbity Bobbity Boo! We had a magical time during Disney for All Ages at Via West Campus. We made magic carpet coasters, fruit flower bouquets, Pooh's honey drinks, Camp Rock guitars, Brave storybooks, and Snow White mini pies.

We took two fun-filled field trips to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and to the movies.

 We went on a scavenger hunt through the 100 Acre Woods, put our skills to the test with a rigorous training session with Mulan, learned the art of cartooning, and had a blast eating breakfast with all of our favorite Disney friends.

We also learned with iPads, had a ball at Cinderella's Ball, rocked out during Camp Rock Night, and spent some quality time in the Via West pool. To see more pictures from this session, please visit our Facebook page.

Career Week Recap

Career Week is over at Via West, and we had a blast! We made PC Board models, vegetarian lasagna, and maps of the United States and California. We learned about all of the various jobs at Via West, and we set up and ran our very own Via West Diner and a Via West Carnival.

We also learned about the food and space industries with field trips to Mariani's Hotel and to NASA.

We spent some time learning proper interviewing techniques and how to dress for success, and we tested our knowledge about the working world with Career Week Jeopardy.

We also learned with iPads, met some local firefighters, and got in shape with water aerobics in the Via West pool. To see more pictures from this session, please visit our Facebook page.

We had the best time ever on our field trips to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, laser tag arena, and the Surf Museum.

We also learned with iPads, danced the night away at King Triton's Ball, and, of course, we spent some time by the pool. To see more pictures from this week, please visit our Facebook page.
