Our Summer Camp Guide for Santa Barbara

2022 Summer Camp Guide

The Complete Guide to More than 150 Diverse Camps

By Terry Ortega | March 30, 2022

Let’s face it, our kids have been through a lot these past two-plus years. They have been forced to hear unpleasant words such as “canceled,” “postponed,” and “isolation” way too often. And they have had to learn the meaning of virtual learning and mask mandates through hard personal experience. Now the Independent wants to help them relearn the meaning of fun and joy. The only remedy is summer camp! 

This year’s guide offers parents and kids more than 150 diverse camps to consider. That’s twice as many as last year’s guide. S.B.’s camp staples such as S.B. Parks & Rec, the YMCA, S.B. Boys & Girls Club, and Zoo Camp are back again. The arts are packed with dance, acting, and music camps. The beach is calling out for surfing, volleyball, lifeguard training, sailing, paddleboarding, and more. Kids can also have fun working on math and science and preparing for college. They can read at the library and get physical with soccer, golf, ice hockey, basketball, tennis, and so much more … even flying through the air on a trapeze. 

Parents: Don’t forget to inquire about early-bird and sibling discounts as well as scholarships.

The Independent’s Summer Camp Guide is, as always, compiled to help the entire family find fun all season long. But this year we think it can be a particularly important asset in helping our kids hear happy words again, especially my favorite phrase: “in-person.”

Let this be the summer of freedom for kids from Ojai to Lompoc. 

Happy summer, wild things! And let the rumpus begin.
