Coffeehouses

It's all about the hands on experience at our Coffeehouses. Throughout the year, you will have a chance to paint your own pottery, build a stuffed animal, decorate your own spirit shirt and create a gingerbread house from scratch. There is always coffee and treats to enjoy while you partake in a fun Wednesday night with your friends.

Catch some of the hottest comedians, outstanding magicians and world’s best hypnotists. Learn how to tango, salsa and swing as you dance the night away with your friends. Your weekend will always be off to a great start with Friday Night Live!

Gaels on the Go

Do you ever wonder how Jelly Belly Candies are made? Have you ever encountered an albino alligator or tried to figure out how three men escaped from Alcatraz Island in 1962? Saturdays will never be the same as you hop on the bus with Gaels on the Go and head all over the Bay Area. Past excursions have taken students to the California Academy of Sciences, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Ice Skating in Union Square, Alcatraz Island, an SF Giants Baseball Game and the SF Museum of Modern Art.
