Camp California’s Resident Camp Program is our traditional summer camp experience. Campers live together, along with their counselors, and take part in a wide variety of activities in Sports, Arts, Waterfront, and Adventure.
Our one- and two-week sessions give campers the opportunity to try new things, make new friends, practice and improve their English, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Since our first summer in 2003, Camp California has hosted thousands of campers from over 40 different countries worldwide.
Resident Camp brings together campers of all ages to live and play together in a supervised, fun, positive, and safe environment. Each day at camp offers the opportunity to try something new, form new friendships, and expand horizons. In this one special place, campers can sail on the Adriatic, sing songs in the Camp Cal Band, play soccer, practice archery, ride the zip-line, and so much more.
Campers improve their English and communication skills through our “Living Language Program.” Campers are fully immersed in an English language environment while at camp.
Campers choose their activities each week in the areas of Sports, Arts, Waterfront, and Adventure. Each day at camp is filled with fun!
Our campers and staff come from all over the world. Most come from Europe, but many join us each summer from outside of Europe as well. Camp California is truly a global community.
At Camp California, we offer an extensive variety of activities in sports, arts, waterfront, and adventure. Campers learn new skills and improve their abilities in a structured and safe environment. We also have themed days, special events, and evening activities, including Lip Sync Performances, International Night, Trips to Pakoštane, Kayaking Excursions, Capture the Flag, and more.
Camp has something for everyone!
