Chumash Heritage & Marine Science Camp

Monday, July 21 – Friday, July 25, 2025

12:00 PM – 5:00 PM (extended hours for field trips)

Join us for an exciting week-long day camp that brings together cultural heritage and marine exploration! Designed especially for tweens and teens, this unique experience will spark curiosity through hands-on activities, engaging lessons, and field trips rooted in the traditions of the Chumash people—the original stewards of California’s Central Coast.

Members will discover the connection between culture, land, and sea while having fun in a safe and supportive environment. Don’t miss this meaningful and memorable journey!

This week, our youth become explorers of ideas, cultures, inventions, and places! World of Discovery week is all about opening young minds to the wonders of the world around them — from famous landmarks and inventors to different traditions and innovations. With hands-on projects, games, and challenges, youth will stretch their imaginations, think like global citizens, and uncover the joy of learning through adventure.  

We’re incredibly thankful to our Week 5 Sponsors, City of Arroyo Grande and the Tifft Charitable Fund, for their generous support of our Summer Camps.
