Napa Valley Education Foundation

☀️ And just like that… summer programming has come to an end!

We wrapped up summer with two weeks of full-day camps, our floors, furniture, walls, and clothing are covered in paint, tape, beads, Legos, glitter, and who knows what else!

We spent our days building STEM challenges, creating very colorful art projects, exploring new and familiar foods in the kitchen, getting a little messy, laughing a LOT, and making new friends along the way.

Our staff is tired and our studios are in need of a good scrub, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. What a finale to our summer! 🎨🔬🍳

Happy (belated) Intern Day to our incredible high school interns!

Through our very own Summer Mentor Program, these four have been an essential part of everything we’ve accomplished this summer.

📱 Camila has taken over our social media, capturing the fun and helping tell our story.
👩‍🍳 Nadia has been a huge support in our culinary classes.
🎵 Erin has kept our music classes running smoothly.
🎨 Khloe has been an amazing teaching assistant across all of our art classes.

They’ve brought energy, creativity, kindness, and a willingness to jump in wherever they’re needed, and it’s made this summer brighter.

Thank you, Camila, Nadia, Erin, and Khloe, for all you do. We’re so proud of you! 💛
