Hello, Camp Cougar Families! My name is Caitlynn White and I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I am the first grade teacher here at Contra Costa Christian Schools (CCCS). I received my B.A. in Liberal Studies with a Minor in Childhood Development as well as my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. My hobbies include hiking, working out, music, trying out new coffee places and pretty much anything else that allows me to spend time with my husband, family and friends! Before teaching at CCCS, I had the privilege of running and being a part of a variety of different summer programs (e.g. summer camps for Cornerstone in Antioch as well as annual summer camps for my church). I am so excited about being able to spend more time with your kiddos this summer! We will be exploring and learning, and most importantly, having loads of FUN!

Hi! My name's Mr. Jef Soliva. I went to UC Berkeley and have a double major in film and rhetoric, with a minor in education. I've taken a few years of Biblical Studies as well. This will be my eighth year teaching middle school and high school, and my 13th year working in education. So far, I've taught algebra, pre-algebra, mechanical drawing, architectural design, guitar, earth science, biology, digital art, and yearbook. I've also been a Reading Intervention Instructor, SAT Prep Teacher, Special Education Aid, and Tutor/ Guitar Teacher. I've served and volunteered at about 35 Camps in the last eight years. Each year during summer, I'd normally volunteer at Joni and Friends Special Needs Camp, Jr. High Camp, and HS Camp. I've also taught at various week long Backyard Bible Clubs and Vocational Bible Schools (VBSs). I love to fill my summers with serving God, teaching young people the Word, and learning new skills and new things about people. I love seeing people learn how much God loves them and how Christ's work brings forgiveness.

Hello campers and book lovers! My name is Lisa Wong and I am the CCCS librarian. I've been with Contra Costa Christian for 15 years and undoubtedly one of my favorite aspects of Library is book club. (If you've never been a part of a book club, I guarantee you're missing out!) Book club is all about going on fictional adventures together; we will all read the same fun book and then come together to chat about it (i.e. the characters, the stories and more!). Oh, and did I mention there are also snacks and prizes?!
This year at Summer Camp, book club will be offered for each grade level so be sure to sign up for the grade you'll be heading into for Fall of 2021. I'm so excited to spend this summer reading and imagining with you...Books rule! |

Hi! My name is Tara Dokken and I bring to our Camp Cougar many skills and talents including teaching experience in kindergarten, second, and fifth grade. I also bring almost three years of experience in K-12 ESL (english secondary language) and I am fluent in French. Teaching is a part of who I am, and it is my God given purpose I believe to help make education attainable, fun, and exciting for students of all learning styles. I use multi-sensory strategies in everything I do as a teacher because I believe all students should be reached in the ways they learn best.
In the past two years, I have also been blessed to serve as a French translator at a Haiti orphanage missions trip. While there, my team and I planned, prepped, organized, and ran a summer camp for the children of Village Espoir (Hope Village), an orphanage in Port au Prince. Being a second language speaker myself, in addition to working with so many students from other countries, I believe that language and culture is so important, especially today. I am so excited to be able to share my love for language, culture, and food with our students! |
