Walnut Creek is located approximately 16 miles east of Oakland, California. Since it lies in the valley, the temperature is fairly cool, with moist and cool winters, and warm to hot, dry summers. There are quite a few different parks in and around Walnut Creek, with the city owning around 1,800 acres of undeveloped hillsides, ridgelines and park sites.1 There are many family-oriented activities to do in and around Walnut Creek, such as visiting the California Symphony, participating in the Civic Arts programs, or see some plays performed at the Lesher Center for the Arts. Getting around town is no problem, just jump on BART, which travels through most areas in the Bay Area. If walking along trails is a family favorite, consider the Iron Horse Trail, which runs right through Walnut Creek or the Contra Costa Canal Trail, which also runs through Walnut Creek.

Camp graduates leave the program with a variety of tools to help diffuse uncomfortable situations. For more information about this program, call 925- 943-5800.3
