Art Factory Studios is a community-centered artistic hub. Art Factory instructors bring cross-curricular experience to art education, using art as a medium to explore everything from history to mathematics to science. With an emphasis on art history, technique and creative expression, students will develop or expand their art practice. Our classes are held in a positive, non-competitive environment.
WELCOME! WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU. Get to know Jessica's story and meet our amazing staff. Learn More

Santa Cruz SPCA Camps
This year’s camp will focus on sharing our world with animals, both domesticated and wild, to where “Save the Earth” is not just about the people but the plants and animals as well. Students will learn how even the smallest things they do can affect the lives of animals for the better. We will encourage a greater respect and understanding for how hard animals work to be successful in their environments even as we continue to change what those environments look like.
For our teen camp only, we will not only be talking about sharing our world, but we will also be taking a deep dive into how a shelter operates and get some hands-on experience trying on different shelter roles.
Each week of Camp runs from 9am to 3pm every day and total cost is $390. We are currently unable to offer scholarships but are working toward this for future camps!
When signing up your students:
- Please only sign up for only one week of camp! Our camps are somewhat repetitive and are meant for one-week registration only!
- Also, please make sure that you are signing up students in the right week for their age group. Anyone joining an alternate week than their age allows must receive approval from our Humane Education Coordinator, 831-566-3753.
Wildflower Adventure Camps are joyful, play-based experiences where children explore the world through curiosity, imagination, and freedom to follow what excites them most.
Each day brings a new outdoor location somewhere around the county: from forests and fields to beaches and hidden nature gems — giving children endless opportunities to discover, create, and connect with the natural world.
Our days are guided by the kids themselves, with caring facilitators supporting their ideas, questions, and spontaneous adventures.
Whether they’re building forts, observing wildlife, inventing games, or simply wandering and wondering, every moment is rooted in exploration, friendship, and the magic of childhood.
Dates: Every week June 1- August 28
Days: M-F or choose individual days
Hours: 10-3
Ages 3.5-10
