The Camps

"Opens [date]" means set a reminder. "Open" means register now. "Waitlist" and "Full" mean move fast or move on.

Know a Camp?

Camp name, city, when registration opens, ages, and the real weekly total — not the "starting at" price. Every submission gets checked against the camp's own page before it goes live.

Common Questions

Why is this guide up so early?

Because the good OC camps open registration in January and February and fill before spring break. By the time you think about summer in May, the decision window is closed. This guide exists to catch the open dates, not the leftovers.

What do the status tags mean?

"Opens [date]" means registration hasn't started yet — set a reminder. "Open" means you can register now. "Waitlist" means full but taking names. "Full" means done for this summer. Statuses change fast in Jan–April, so check the camp before you count on it.

How do I add a camp or update one?

Use the form above — camp name, city, when registration opens, ages, and the real weekly cost. Frances checks each one against the camp's own page before it goes live.

Registration dates and prices move every year. Confirm on the camp's own site before you set your alarm or your budget — this guide points you there, it doesn't replace it.
