Optional Activities

Santa Cruz is a beautiful place, get out and explore! You can add each of these optional activities to your week of camp during the registration process. 

  • Surfing

    There is nothing like the thrill of standing up and riding a wave. Santa Cruz is recognized as one of California’s best places to learn how to surf. Our qualified staff will hook you up with all the gear and some solid instruction, and then together, you will head to the local waves for an unforgettable surf session. Our two hours sessions occur before breakfast.

    There is a $40 additional fee. Sign up during the camp registration process and register early because it fills up fast.

  • Ridge Camp High Ropes

    Take on our high ropes adventures course located on a beautiful ridge overlooking our hiking trails, 40ft in the air! Push yourself as you tackle elements and work as a team to encourage one another through the Ridge Camp loop.

    There is a $55 additional fee. Sign up during the camp registration process.

  • Kayak Nature Tour

    Explore the Santa Cruz shorelines in a kayak. Enjoy a relaxing morning paddle on the bay.  It’s easy, safe, and fun. We will begin near the wharf and pass by seals and otters as we glide through the waters near Lighthouse Point.

    There is a $75 additional fee. Sign up during the camp registration process.

  • Mystery Spot Tour

    The Mystery Spot is a gravitational anomaly in the redwood forests of Santa Cruz. It is a circular area of effect around 150 feet or 46 meters in diameter. Within the Mystery Spot, you will be stunned as your perceptions of the laws of physics and gravity are questioned. But don’t take our word for it; come and decide for yourself! Take a tour of this weird Santa Cruz Landmark.

    There is a $17 additional fee. Sign up during the camp registration process.
