Camp Capitola, for kids ages 6-11, is held at Jade Street Park and uses the outdoor environment and the Capitola Community Center to provide kids with an awesome summer experience! Activities include sports, arts and crafts projects, water games, drama productions, beach days, theme weeks, specialty camps, clubs carnivals, and more! There is a regular daily schedule with several different types of activities going on (indoor, outdoor, arts and crafts, active & quiet games, age-specific activities, etc.), and kids can choose which activities to participate in. We offer half-day (mornings or afternoons) or all-day care, with extended care hours (for children enrolled in Camp only).

PLEASE NOTE: Our Camp is designed to run in 2-week or 3-week sessions; we cannot offer daily or weekly Camp nor pro-rating for days your child will not attend. There is no Camp on July 4. The 2008 session dates are as follows:

Session 1: June 16 - June 27 (2 weeks)
Session 2: June 30 - July 18 (3 weeks)
Session 3: July 21 - August 1 (2 weeks)
Session 4: August 4 - August 15 (2 weeks)

2008 Fees: Camp is affordable!
We know that arranging care for kids in the summer can be stressful and expensive, so we strive to keep our prices affordable. All-day Camp is only $2.60/hour for residents for 2 weeks, and slightly higher for non-residents. And you do not have to sign up for all the sessions in advance; you can pay as you go, through the summer. Please note, however, that enrollment fees do not include field trip expenses. Your child does not have to participate in field trips, but if he or she does, there may be additional fees that you will be notified of in advance, in the weekly bulletins.

Who is a resident?: A resident is anyone residing within the boundaries of the City of Capitola and the Soquel Elementary School District: approximately 38th Avenue to Santa Cruz Gardens (Paul Sweet Rd.) to Cabrillo College, inclusive.

Transport for kids enrolled in Camp & Jr. Guards: If your child is enrolled in both Camp and Junior Guards, and you are unable to transport him or her between the programs, you can enroll him or her in Transport and we will do it for you. At lunch time, staff walk the children between the programs, at Capitola Beach and Jade Street Park, to provide them the opportunity to participate in both programs. If your child is in Guards in the afternoon, pick him or her up at Capitola Beach. If he or she is in Camp in the afternoon, pick him/her up at Jade Street Park. We are not able to transport children to other beaches on competition days; you will have to arrange transportation on those days.
$45 for 1st Session of Guards / $35 for 2nd Session of Guards
