At our CDCC summer camp for our elementary school-age children, we continue summer learning in active, exploratory, and safe ways. Every year, we plan to do a variety of new and exciting adventures, a mix of fun, learning, and exploring. We want Santa Barbara children to know their city and their environment better, to develop large and small motor skills, to find their own creativity, and to learn how to thrive socially. Incorporating both fun field trips as well as on-site activities such as cooking and crafts, we provide variety and new learning opportunities each day.

Open for elementary school-age children through 10 years old. School-age children will have needed to complete one year or T-K or K to be eligible.

Summer hours start at 7:30 am and closing at 5:30 pm.

Join us for a fun, safe, and engaging summer. 

SUMMER REMINDERS

• We spend a lot more time in the sun during the summer months. Please put sunscreen on your child before you bring them to school or summer camp. If you forget, we have sunscreen available for you to use.

• We will spontaneously have water play in the summer. Please keep a spare bathing suit and towel in your child's backpack for hot weather. A sweatshirt may also be helpful due to fog on the mesa.

• Please remember to have girls wear shorts under summer dresses.

• Parents, please open the gate yourself. It is a safety issue to have children opening the gates.

• Remember that Cliff Drive’s policy is that teachers will perform a health check with all children each day, and all children be free of signs of obvious illness while at school. This policy also states that children returning from an illness must be free from fever, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least 24 hours before returning to school

• Please make sure you sign your child in and out daily using the Brightwheel app. If you aren’t able to use the app, a clipboard is available at the check in kiosk.

• Please pack your child a lunch and water bottle. We provide a morning and an afternoon snack and can refill water bottles as needed.

SUMMER CAMP ATTENDANCE POLICY

• If your child will not attend a day that they are signed up for, you must notify us no later than 9:00am the day-of their absence (via Brightwheel message).

• Failure to notify us by 9:00am of an absence is considered a “no-call, no-show” and will result in an additional charge of $25.

• If you accumulate 5 days of charges, then your child will not be allowed to attend until you have paid the fees in full.

• If your child is absent due to sickness, please notify us by 9:00am of their sickness and the day you expect them to return. If we do not hear from you by 9:00am the day they were expected to return, this is considered a “no-call, no-show.” Reach out for information about our sickness policies.

• If you have a schedule change, you must notify us no later than two weeks prior so that we can adjust your bill. We will not be able to make changes to your bill after the two-week notice, and you will be charged for the schedule you made whether or not your child attends.
