Extended Care

If your child needs supervision outside of our regularly scheduled hours, choose the Extended Care Add-On when purchasing your camp. Our staff engages campers in active or quiet play during lunchtime (12:00-1.00P*) and evening (4:00-5.30P) Extended Care programs. Need extended care for just one day? No need to pre-enroll. Simply complete a short form and submit it along with your payment to the camp office on the morning of that day. Price: $15 per time slot.

Except for Extended Care enrollees, there is no provision for students to remain at the Aquatic Center after the end of the class. Please be aware if you pick up your child late without signing up for extended care, a fee of $7.00 per quarter hour or fraction thereof is assessed beginning 15 minutes after the end of their camp day.

*If you are enrolling your child in a morning program as well as an afternoon program, you DO NOT need to sign up for Lunch-time Extended Care. It is included when you are there for the whole day.

Occasionally, due to weather or other conditions beyond our control, Cal Adventures may change the activity or destination of a class.
