Students will have a chance to express themselves using a variety of techniques in the following areas: drawing, painting, printmaking and collage.
Science Exploration - Are you looking for a fun time this summer? Have you ever wanted to launch a rocket? Are you curious about how our muscles work, or the difference between acids and bases? Would you like to hike in a creek? You could do all this and more at this NEW science camp, which has a fun, hands-on science focus. We’ll also enjoy active games everyday.

Participants will be divided into groups for age-appropriate activities. The staff to child ratio is 1:14 or less on site and 1:8 for field trips.

Zombie Camp - You will learn how to protect yourself and your fellow villagers from zombies with essential stealth and survival skills. Learn how to find shelter, shoot an arrow, forage for edibles, locate drinking water, pack a bug-out bag, develop emergency plans, and a variety of other skills (like orienteering and first aid) you’ll need to be prepared to survive a zombie invasion!
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.
