Camp Helping Hands in Camarillo & Thousand Oaks For Ages 6-14

Updated 2/16/2014

By Sponsored May 20, 2010
For the 2014 Summer season, Camp Helping Hands (CHH) Summer Camps, are offering kids age 6-14 a summer camp at Cal Lutheran University (CLU) and NEW this summer, a summer camp location at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI).

Each three week summer program has a theme, and each week of programming supports that theme. The CHH summer camp at CSUCI will run from June 16 through July 3 with the theme, "Living: Our Place in the World". The  CLU based summer camp will run from July 14 through August 1 with the theme Kid Heroes. Both camps run from 9am to 3pm Monday thru Friday with extended care options for early drop off and late pick up.

Most campers sign up for the three-week program which provides fun and educational service-learning opportunities within several different segments of their local community. Participants who sign up for the three- week package  receive a bulk-rate discount when registering. Campers can also sign up for one and two-week options, though three week options are recommended to get the full benefit of the program. 

CHH summer camps provide a fun and safe place  where your child can enjoy sports activities, games, swimming, arts and crafts, music, and more while also helping the local community and learning about the different themes.
