Academic Summer Camp

Our FREE summer camp provides educational, recreational, and field trip activities!

Students work on engaging, fun, academic activities (math, science, art and reading) led by staff and our teen counselors in training . They also play sports and enjoy field trips while reconnecting with old friends, as well as making new ones.

Hours are Monday – Thursday from 10am- 4pm. June 16th – July 31, 2025.

Week 1: Reading
Week 2: Writing
Week 3: History
Week 4: Math
Week 5: Science
Week 6: Geography
Week 7: Technology & Career

The summer camp is 7 weeks. Each week focuses on a different academic subject including: language arts, math, science, history, technology, and careers, with project-based activities designed around that subject. For example, our Science Week includes hands-on chemistry experiments, cooking, reading stories about scientific discoveries, creating science-based art (volcanos, cellular structures with marshmallows and toothpicks), and math problems related to the periodic table. Field trips highlight subject matter, such as the California Science Center. During the summer, students often need additional academic support to maintain grade-level proficiency in all subjects. Our camp is designed to provide that personalized instruction within a fun, creative and positive environment.

Students ages 8-13 thrive in this setting, with our teenagers (14-18) gaining valuable leadership and work experience as Counselors-In-Training (CITs). Our teen program provides community service hours as well as college and career workshops (resume preparation, internship application
assistance, mock interviews, and career panels with local corporate partners).

We hope to see you!
