Summer fun for children entering Kindergarten or first grade in fall 2025 (Must be 5 years old prior to the start of a week of Variety Campz in which they are participating). Campers enjoy a wide array of academic, artistic, and outdoor enrichment activities every day of the week
Variety campers begin and end each day moving their bodies and testing their skills during our signature “Rock ‘n Roll Call” sessions. Each afternoon campers will get wet with fun water activities, including our on-site water slides.
During their first week, Variety campers will dive into the amazing world of ocean life! They’ll explore plants and animals that live in the ocean and learn how they all need a healthy home. Just like us, sea creatures need food, shelter, and a safe place to grow their babies. Campers will discover how different ocean animals live together and support each other in their watery neighborhood!
During the second week, campers will take an exciting journey into outer space! They’ll enjoy hands-on activities, fun experiments, and creative art projects. Campers will find out how the sun and moon influence our lives on Earth. They will also learn about fascinating things like black holes, nebulae, and the rings of Saturn as they are inspired to explore the mysteries of the universe!
This week Campers will bring stories to life with puppets and play! They’ll tell funny tales and learn important lessons through storytelling. Whether the stories are new or classic, they will help children imagine new worlds and possibilities. This week is all about exploring creativity and realizing the lessons that stories can teach us!
During Week 4, campers embark on a tasty, around-the-world adventure! They’ll make and taste delicious snacks from various cultures. Every yummy bite offers children a chance to explore different cultures and enjoy a variety of delicious cuisines. By discovering foods and traditions from around the world, they will see how peoples’ lives are both unique and similar to their own!
In our final week, campers will be immersed in a world of creativity and fun! They’ll be inspired by famous artists and create their own amazing works of art. Activities like rock painting, finger painting, crafting, collaging, and sculpting will allow children to mix the creativity they’ve observed with their own innovative ideas, resulting in a delicious, artful soup! This week is all about fun, expression, and letting their imaginations flow!
Odyssey campers enjoy two field trips each week that take them off-campus for one learning and one “fun” adventure. In addition to awesome, theme-related challenges, experiments, crafts, and activities each week, Odyssey campers begin and end each day with our signature “Rock ‘n Roll Call” sessions, and each week includes either a beach trip or a “Splash Day” on our own 27’ high Hurricane Water Slide.
During the first week of Odyssey Campz, campers will explore the geology of our oceans. They will also investigate everything from deep trenches to our local bathymetry, which has a profound impact on their fun at the beach. There will be some incredible hands-on science activities, as well as a couple of oceanic geology field trips campers will not forget.
How much do you know about our galaxy, the universe, and how it all works? Spaced Out week is dedicated to hands-on learning experiences focused on everything outer space. Campers will learn about planetary atmospheres, the science behind telescopes, and ongoing expansion of the universe. Buckle your seat belts as we blast off on some fun space adventures and get totally Spaced Out!
Are you a huge fan of the animals in our oceans? Which is your favorite? Life in Our Oceans will be a hands-on investigative journey of your favorite ocean creatures! Campers will conduct focused research, produce their own scripts, and deliver a journalistic-style news report on their favorite ocean critters. Campers will be snorkeling La Jolla Cove, and visiting some fantastic local tide pools!
How close to reality is Star Wars? Well, it may be closer than you realize! This week, campers are looking at the science behind Star Wars. They’ll consider light, propulsion, and star travel through some unforgettable hands-on activities. We’ll be taking campers’ imaginations to the limits this whole week!
Campers will feel the ‘thrill of victory and the agony of defeat’ as they are immersed in the grit and drama of the Summer Olympic Games. This is the week campers get to prove their mettle as they vie for medals in a series of challenging competitive endeavors known as the Odyssey Olympics. They’ll also practice preparing an array of nutritious body-boosting foods and drinks, as they are inspired to condition their bodies inside and out. A sports-themed field trip will round-out this adrenaline-filled week.
