If you’re looking for ways for your kids to stay active and engaged during summer break, the City of Carlsbad is offering a wide variety of fun camps and ongoing classes.

View our Summer Community Services Guide. Registration opens March 13. Parents should sign up kids early for camps since many sell out quickly. 

Kids can build on fundamentals, improve technique and master skills while developing a love of sports and fitness. Campers will have fun, keep fit and make new friends in one of the city's many sports and fitness camps including basketball, golf, tennis, gymnastics and more!
