Final deadline June 1. Campers spend half the day as science explorers and half as athletes. Extended care available at extra cost. Four week-long residential camps in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Gold Country foothills, Sierra Nevada and Mokelumne Wilderness, combining outdoor science with swimming, hiking, stargazing, crafts and games.
