Santa Cruz County Summer CampsSanta Cruz County is home to a full range of summer camps sure to keep kids (and families!) entertained, active, and engaged. Many of the camps take advantage of the natural beauty of Santa Cruz County, from the beaches to the redwood forests to the mountains. Others capitalize on the creative and artistic community here in Santa Cruz County. And, many share the love of sports, from soccer to horseback riding to swimming, with children of all ages.
Please let us know if there's another camp or program we should include on this list.
