Stand Up! Speak Out! Summer Camp in Descanso Gardens

Looking for a summer experience that’s both fun and meaningful for your child?

Our popular camp for girls entering 3rd–5th grade combines creativity, connection, and social-emotional learning in a supportive, engaging environment. Campers build skills to maintain positive friendships, communicate effectively, feel their best, and approach challenges with confidence.

Each day is thoughtfully designed and led by our experienced team, with scavenger hunts, crafts, and games-plus time exploring the beautiful paths and waterfalls. Campers will make new friends, get creative, and enjoy time in nature.

Camp is offered in Descanso’s Harvest Gardens, a private space with ample shade, outdoor learning areas, and fruit trees we can harvest together-an ideal setting for growth, connection, and fun!
