Summer Odyssey
Summer Odyssey at Dominican University of California is an innovative program designed specifically for academically gifted and creatively talented students, grades 2–9, from Marin’s public and independent schools. Each course is age appropriate and curricula are activity based.
From July 16–27, Summer Odyssey will challenge the intellect, stretch the imagination, and embolden the talent of each child.
Summer Odyssey classes are conducted on the 80-acre Dominican campus in San Rafael. Classrooms are large and well-equipped. Summer Odyssey teachers and students can take full advantage of the University’s sylvan beauty for nature walks, outdoor adventures and contemplative moments.
Participants will be selected on the basis of their academic abilities, creativity, talent and a keen desire to explore and learn.
