Summer Camp at santa cruz learning center

Looking for a screen-free summer filled with creativity, exploration, and connection?

Our summer camps for kids ages 5–12 are designed to keep hands busy and minds engaged. Each day blends hands-on science and art activities with plenty of time to move, play, and explore the outdoors.

Campers might launch rockets, paint murals, build bridges, explore local trails, or engineer a watermelon explosion—every week brings something new. Activities are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and let kids dive into their natural creativity.

Afternoons are reserved for outdoor adventures like nature walks, group games, or water play, giving kids a chance to unwind, socialize, and enjoy summer in a meaningful way.

Whether your child comes for one week or the whole summer, they'll leave camp feeling inspired, connected, and full of great stories to tell.
