Summer at Santa Catalina
Open to girls ages 8 to 14,
entering grades 3 to 9 in the fall, summer camp at Santa Catalina is set on our
beautiful campus with rose gardens, six tennis courts, athletic field, gym,
aquatic center, and a 500-seat performing arts center.
You’ll be able to choose from an
array of exciting classes and tailor them to your particular interests. Imagine
yourself creating colorful ceramics or watercolor paintings in one of our
spacious, sunny art studios. Maybe you’ll want to learn photography, ballet,
choir, or hip-hop. One of the most popular sessions is our Musical Theatre
Workshop in which you’ll be part of a full-scale, professionally choreographed
stage production at the end of 5 weeks.
Off campus, you’ll
join other girls in hiking with our outdoor explorers, kayaking, or enjoying
the sea air while exploring tide pools as part of Marine Biology studies. You
can master your golf swing at nearby Monterey Pines Golf Course or hone your
riding skills and understanding of horsemanship at the Pebble Beach Equestrian
Center.
Try our volleyball, tennis, swimming, soccer, and diving classes, which are taught by enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaches. Or
maybe you'll look into a cooking class where campers learn to whip up everything from
sweet, nut-filled breads to Chinese wraps and Italian pizza.
As a boarder, you’ll
stay in our bright, airy dorms where a full staff of counselors, all
college-aged women, live on-site for guidance and fun. Counselors also
accompany campers on weekend field trips that may include a visit to the Santa
Cruz Boardwalk or a trip to the
Monterey Aquarium.
Summer at Santa
Catalina, promises to be an unforgettable adventure where you’ll explore your
talents, build self-confidence, and create friendships that will last a
lifetime. We have 59 years of practice growing great kids and having a ton of
fun in the process

Santa Catalina is dedicated to the physical, social, and spiritual growth of
girls. Our summer camp program strives to nurture girls as they begin to build
their independence and self-reliance. We aim to help campers develop the
virtues of honesty, kindness, and respect for others. Our goal is that campers
receive and contribute to the support of a caring community and leave camp with
greater self-confidence, eager to be contributing members of their own
communities.
