Summer Programs

The Carden School of Santa Cruz offers a nine-week summer recreation program each year. Students from age five to fourteen from our Carden school and the larger Santa Cruz area community are welcome to join our counselors and campers for nine weeks of fun and frolic.

Our campers participate in field trips, beach outings, trips to the swimming pool, water play, arts and crafts, organized field games, adventures in cooking, acting, gardening and more.

Camp hours are from 8:00-5:30. Half days (morning and afternoon) are also available.
