Camping, Upcoming Events and More

Fall Events

Join Brightworks families for a camping trip!

We’ll return yet again to River Bend Resort in Forestville (~1.5 hr drive). This lovely space has river access, play areas for kids, general store, pub for meals, and different lodging options. We typically do a big potluck and s’mores at the lodge on Saturday night.

A mix of sites (including traditional tent sites, tent cabins, and VW buses) will be held for us for the next two weeks and you can book directly here. More details about RiverBend  (https://riverbendresort.net/) and the trip are on parent square or reach out to Neeta (parent in Quartz) with any questions!

Look forward to seeing you at River Bend!

  • World Arts West 2024 Dance Festival is a three-weekend festival that showcases culture, wisdom, and beauty through global dance and music, with a theme this year of “Dance as Activism.” The festival culminates with a day of performances at the Presidio Tunnel Tops on Sunday, September 8. The goal is to celebrate diverse communities through the art of dance at its 45th Annual dance festival.
