Summer Camps in Carlsbad, California

Carlsbad's summer camp scene perfectly captures the essence of Southern California living, with an incredible mix of outdoor adventures and enriching activities. The coastal location shapes many of the most popular programs, where kids can dive into surfing camps at Fulcrum Surf or explore marine science at the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum. What sets Carlsbad apart is its diverse blend of traditional and innovative camps - you'll find everything from cutting-edge STEM programs at the Carlsbad Educational Foundation to unique offerings like parkour camps at Freedom In Motion.

The city's camps tend to be smaller and more personalized than those in bigger cities, with most providers maintaining intimate group sizes that allow for real skill development and relationship building. With nearly half of all local camps focused on sports and outdoor activities, it's clear that Carlsbad's gorgeous weather and natural resources play a starring role in the summer camp experience.
