Camp Capitola

Camp Capitola is the ultimate summer escape for kids aged 4 to 14, blending adventure, creativity, and fun under the California sun. Held at Jade Street Park and the Capitola Community Center, this day camp offers a mix of outdoor games, arts and crafts, drama productions, and even mornings at the beach. It’s a place where kids can let their imaginations soar while making lifelong memories. For the littlest adventurers, “Lil’ Campers” (ages 4-5) provides age-appropriate activities like beach outings and ice cream trips to Capitola Village. Meanwhile, the “Classic Camp” (ages 6-12) keeps things lively with scavenger hunts, dodgeball, art projects, and walking field trips to local hotspots like agility boulders and arcades. Older kids (11-14) can dive into “Around Town Camp,” a week-long program featuring kayaking, tide pool exploration, mini-golf, and even laser tag. The camp runs in two-week sessions with flexible scheduling options—full-day or half-day—plus extended care for busy parents. Staff maintain a 1:12 ratio to ensure every child feels supported and safe. Special visits from local police, fire departments, and wildlife experts add an extra layer of excitement. Teens aged 14-17 can join the Junior Leader Program to gain leadership skills while assisting younger campers. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn responsibility while having a blast. With scholarships available for families in need, Camp Capitola is as inclusive as it is entertaining. From beachside mornings to creative afternoons, this camp promises a summer full of joy and discovery.
