We offer resources to help with planning your child’s summer activities and camps so you can start planning at any point during the year.
COVID-19 Update: We encourage parents to spend time reviewing camp websites for offerings, stay updated on specific activities for Summer 2021 by subscribing to camp organizations’ email lists and understand camper refund policies. Summer camp organizations are currently consulting the State of California and County Office of Public Health to determine how they might offer in-person camps while meeting the requirements of the Health Orders. Some camps are modifying summer programming to comply with local requirements along with virtual offerings. In addition, many are working diligently to ensure that, if they are able to offer camps, their facilities will be safe for campers and other visitors.
California sleep away camps will be open Summer 2021
