AFTERNOON CAMP ENRICHMENT

Cali’s unique after-school experience for Topanga Elementary School kids sets them free in twenty-one acres of nature’s imagination. Ancient rocks, beautiful skies, wild creeks and open fields offer settings for outdoor activities. Rainy outside? Indoor child-spaces shelter played-out dreams of arts, dance, music, games and projects.

Inside or outside, Cali kids learn to thrive. As at our summer camp, every Cali kid is supported as they make new friends, grow confident from adventures, discover who they are and learn to celebrate the good in one another.

ACE – short for Afternoon Camp Enrichment – is split up into eight-week sessions that change up with the seasons and reflect the make-up of kids who are attending.

But each day, there’s time set aside for children to work on homework and get help with it so that it’s done before they get home.

To make ACE even more parent-friendly, Cali picks up Topanga Elementary School kids at school. Parents meet their child at ACE at 6 PM to take them home.

WINTER CAMP

Boost the December school break with eleven days of Cali.

Our Winter Camp ramps up the joy with outdoor adventures, indoor arts, wonderful friendships and the confidence that comes with trying something new or excelling at something you love.

Winter camp is open on the same dates as LAUSD’s December/January break (Monday, December 17 through Friday, January 4).

Yet, all kids and teenagers ages 5-14 are welcome.

(Be careful – Winter Camp sells out fast. Register here. Limited Enrollment.)

Kids are picked up by qualified drivers and counselors at Cali bus “stations.” One each for West and East Valley campers, another for West Los Angeles kids and a fourth in Santa Monica. End of the day – campers are returned to those same convenient locations. Exact routes to be determined.

Wondering about camp hours? They’re full days – from 9:00AM to 3:30 PM – plus travel times. Routes average forty-five minutes each way. Pack your child’s lunch, and we’ll take care of tasty, healthy afternoon snacks.
